paroles de chanson Hobo Dreams - Chris LeDoux

Pouring rain has grounded all the planes out of Louisville, Kentucky
So I bought me a railway ticket
I had to close a deal in New Orleans
When a hobo by the track said he was going to ride the rails to Arizona

I had to fight the tears that welled up in me
'Cause a ragged old hobo is really better off than me
He ain't nothing but a hobo
But he's livin' his hobo dreams

I got a brand new car and a house, a good 'ol job in the suburbs of St. Louie
And the woman in the gateway to the west
She made me everything I am
But my three-piece suit is gettin' tight
The walls are closin' in down at the office

Lord, I've been too cautious with all my best laid plans
'Cause a ragged old hobo is really better off than me
He ain't nothing but a hobo
But he's livin' his hobo dreams

Said son you outta come along and watch the eagle's fly in Arizona
You'll never see an eagle fly with neon light reflecting off his wings
As he climbed into the rail car
His last words echoed back like crashing thunder

Lord if I was younger well, I'd ride me a different train
'Cause a ragged old hobo is really better off than me
He ain't nothing but a hobo
But he's livin' his hobo dreams
He ain't nothing but a hobo
But he's livin' his hobo dreams
