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 feeling free 

 Like a hobo from a broken home
 Nothing's gonna stop me
 Like a hobo from a broken home
 Nothing's gonna stop me 

 I've never yearned for anybody's fortune
 The less I have the more I am a happy man
 Now my mother told me always keep your head on
 Because some may praise 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 gonna stop me
 Like a hobo from a broken home
 Nothing's gonna stop me
