I've always known
Since I was a young boy
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 freeLike a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop meOh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,I've never yearned for anybody's fortune
The less I have the more I am a happy man
Now my mother told me always keep your head on
Because some may praise you just to get what they wantAnd I said mama I am not afraid
They will take what they will take
And what would life be like without a few mistakesLike a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop meOh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahLike a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
