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 feelin’ free

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me
Nothing’s going to stop me

Ahhh, aaaaah

I’ve never yearned for anybody’s forture
The less I have the more I am a happy man
Now my mother told me always keep your head up
Because some may graze 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 going to stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me oooh
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me ooouuh

Aaaaah aaaaaahhhh
Aaaaah aaaaaahhhh
Now, now, now, now

Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing’s going to stop me, no!
Shut the door!
