I’ve always known
since I was a young girl
In this world
everything’s as good as bad
Now my father told me
always speak a true word
and I have to say
that is the best advice I’ve had
Because something burns inside of me
it’s everything I long to be
and lies, they only stop me
from feeling free
Like a hobo from a broken home
nothing’s gonna stop me
like a hobo from a broken home
nothing’s gonna stop me
I’ve never yearned
for anybody’s fortune
the less I have
the more I am a happy woman
Now my mother told me
always keep your head on
because some may praise you
just to get what they want
And I said mama I am not afraid
they will take what they will take
and what would life be like
without a few mistakes
Like a hobo from a broken home
nothing’s gonna stop me
like a hobo from a broken home
nothing’s gonna stop me
Charlie Winston
“Like a hobo from a broken home”
