You put railroad tracks under my feet
I’m just a hobo on the street, street, street
And my only address is the wild and wooly west
And my sun never sets in the sea
I’m a bum, and a beggar and a thief
Yet I dream I’m still your Indian chief, chief, chief
And your heart for me’s the flame, but when I wake up it’s the same
There’s life’s bows and arrows shootin’ me
And your heart for me’s a flame, but when I wake up it’s the same
There’s life’s bows and arrows shootin’ me
Never learned how to wrestle or how to box
Never learned how to outwit any fox, fox, fox
And my biggest enemy is the one and only me
And I’m down for the count, yes siree
And my biggest enemy is the one and only me
And I’m down for the count, one, two, three
I’ve been duped by the mirror on my wall
There was a time when it showed me standing tall, tall, tall
Well, I laid it on its side, so I could see my weary eyes
And my mirror’s standing just 20 inches high
I’ve told falsehood, rumors and downright lies
I’ve been accused of cheatin’ kin-folks and their wi-wi-wives
I’ve caused a lot of pain
I’ve been halfway insane
But when I say, "I love you, Girl" that’s wet as rain
Well, I’ve caused a lot o’ pain
Man, I’ve dealt a crooked game
Well, but when I say, "I love you, Gal"
Oh, when I say, "I love you, Gal"
Oh, when I say, "I love you, Gal"
That’s wet as rain
