lyrics

(1st Verse)
I feel the wind coming on
Feel the winter's chill sing my song
Pack my bags and say goodbye
to all my friends
Everybody knows the loser never wins

(2nd Verse)
Looking out the cargo door
as I'm rolling down the track
Watch my life go by
in that little paper sack
Going town to town
never knowing where I've been
Everybody's got a story
seems to never end

(Chorus)
I've seen the people cry
I've heard the people sing
I watched a poor boy pray
as the church bell started to ring
I've seen the buildings rise
and I've seen the buildings fall
It seems to me it means nothing at all

(3rd Verse)
50 years from now
who'll remember me
Maybe one day
They'll write a song for me
Sing about some people
who always lived life free
Then the world will know
what they ought to be

(2nd Chorus)
I've seen the people cry
I've heard the people sing
I watched a poor boy pray
as the church bell started to ring
I've seen the buildings rise
and I've seen the buildings fall
It seems to me I could be wrong after all

(3rd Chorus)
Sing along
with the lonely hobo song
the words will go
on and on and on
Feel free to join in
if your life's going wrong
'cuz when we sing
we're not alone anymore
