lyrics

I'm gonna tie myself a bindle
Pack it full of food
A few extra pairs of socks and underwear
A sewing kit and a few more tools

Gonna hop myself a freighter
Run along side the tracks
Make a little bed of hay to lay my head
I'll drift off and not come back

As far as I can see
there’s no need
To even bring a watch

I'll be a slow-mo hobo
Go anywhere the wind blows
No more dough owed
Except from the pies off windows
I'll have some stone cold crow beaus
mark my foes with secret codes
I'll be a slow-mo hobo
So everywhere feels like home

I'm gonna knock on the door
Of the next farm house I see
Ask if they could use my hands
For a few bucks and some company

I'll pull up weeds and feed the sheep
Swap stories with the farmer's son
I'll thank them kindly for the cash
Tie my bindle, then keep moving on

At this tempo
Adagietto
So much different than this song

With my new found riches
I'll buy a sandwich and a bath
And a pack of smokes, sell one for a joke
Wealthy in darts and laughs

And the few bucks I might have left
I'll save to pad my shoes
For a rainy day or for sunny play
Or if I settle somewhere new

There’s no worth
To knowing it’s the first
If you don’t have to pay rent

I'll mark the time
By the sun
Let it flow
Like rivers run
It might stretch out
Like these endless rails
It might compress
But who knows or cares?
