[03:29.00]Pouring rain has grounded
[03:29.00]All the planes out of Louisville Kentucky
[03:29.00]So I bought me a railway ticket
[03:29.00]I had to close a deal in New Orleans
[03:29.00]When a hobo by the track
[03:29.00]Said he was going to ride the rails to Arizona
[03:29.00]I had to fight the tears
[03:29.00]That weld up in me
[03:29.00]Cause a ragged old hobo
[03:29.00]Is really better off than me
[03:29.00]He ain't nothing but a hobo
[03:29.00]But he's livin' his hobo dreams
[03:29.00]I got a brand new car and a house a good 'ol job
[03:29.00]In the suburbs of St. Louie
[03:29.00]And the woman in the gateway to the west
[03:29.00]She made me everything I am
[03:29.00]But my three-piece suit is gettin' tight
[03:29.00]The walls are closin' in down at the office
[03:29.00]Lord I've been too cautious
[03:29.00]With all my best laid plans
[03:29.00]Cause a ragged old hobo
[03:29.00]Is really better off than me
[03:29.00]He ain't nothing but a hobo
[03:29.00]But he's livin' his hobo dreams
[03:29.00]Said son you outta come along and watch
[03:29.00]The eagle's fly in Arizona
[03:29.00]You'll never see an eagle fly
[03:29.00]With neon light reflecting off his wings
[03:29.00]As he climbed into the rail car
[03:29.00]His last words echoed back like crashing thunder
[03:29.00]Lord if I was younger
[03:29.00]Well I'd ride me a different train
[03:29.00]Cause a ragged old hobo
[03:29.00]Is really better off than me
[03:29.00]He ain't nothing but a hobo
[03:29.00]He ain't nothing but a hobo dreams
[03:29.00]He ain't nothing but a hobo
[03:29.00]But he's livin' his hobo dreams
