"Giving to those who seek the love that waits inside
Each man feels kindness, for we are all as one"
Fasten your seat belt
Walkin‘ down the highway
My guitar in my hand
With seven fine ladies
All at my command
I know they want to hold me
'Gainst the power of the sun
Oh yes I know, oh yes I know
But I just keep right on floating
You got no blues that I can see
'Cause nothing can tame a tramp like me
Holdin‘ me down, won't stick around
As l did before, come on open your door
You say that again, you have got a friend
You're making a scene, oh I'm not obscene
Maybe I'm just a Texas boy in the noose, see
Oh shut up
Oh come on, kill me
Huh, you’re holding me down, l won‘t stick around
You’ve heard it before, come on, I‘II open the door
You've said it again, come on I’m your friend
You're holding me down
Look out, this tramp is leaving town
Oh I got to tell you
Living out of a suitcase
Makes a man feel fat and sassy
Lazing in the sunshine
Baked a smile upon my face
I'm in no hurry
To leave this filthy place
But tomorrow l’Il be moving
Down the road to sing the blues
Yes you know, oh yes you know
Maybe someday I’lI stop drifting
Until then l’lI wait and see
'Cause nothing has ever tamed a tramp like me
Holdin' me down
Well I’m nobody’s clown
Tried it before, come on open your door
Said it again, l’ve been round the hand, holding' me down
Hey Jack, I'm splitting this town
And I ain't comin’ home, oh yeah!
