Hobo Kinda Man

[Verse 1] Around the time of the second world war A new kind of man came through the door I ain't looking for food I'm looking for work Not afraid to sweat - digging in the dirt I ain't looking for a hand-out But I'm willing to lend a hand to the man that pays me Yes I am Mr. Roosevelt, he understands I'm a hobo kinda man I've been riding this train I've been up all night I'll be swinging that ho before daylight When the next box car comes along I'll jump it and fight ya and call it my home When the money runs out, so do I I'll be riding these rails 'till times change and kill me Yes I will I never know where I am, hey, I'm a hobo kinda man That's what I am [Chorus] Those steel wheels-a-rolling Somewhere I feel me towing, I know I can hear that whistle blowing Come tomorrow morning I'll be gone Yeah Oh! I'm a hobo kinda man [Verse 2] I'm always leaving my wife and kids behind Working somewhere on down the line Every night I sleep in a different town I never know, honey, where I'm bound Living out of a suitcase I changed from a train to a silver eagle But I'm getting all I can I'm a modern day hobo kinda man [Chorus]
