Lyrics

Met an old man on the street
A dirty hat laying at his feet
I looked and saw adventure in his eyes
Singing them songs from yesterday
From over the hills and far away
Lord that old man hypnotized

I went on in to my nine-to-five
Hoping I could stay alive
I knew that something in my life was wrong
All night long I could not sleep
The trouble here was buried deep
I couldn't help but hear the old man's song

I'm rolling down the highway
I fly the friendly skies
I'm just a hobo
I'm on the railroad tracks tonight
I'm dancing through the desert
I see the city nights
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life

The feeling swept right over me
I left my home and my security
I finally found a place where I belong
Back out here on the road again
Going back where I have never been
Now I'm finally free to sing my song

I'm rolling down the highway
I fly the friendly skies
I'm just a hobo
I'm on the railroad tracks tonight
I'm dancing through the desert
I see the city nights
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life
I'm just a sailor on the sea of life
