[Verse 1]
C F
I just wanted to roam so I left a good home
C G
A hobo's life sure was calling me
C F
So I caught an old box car and then I traveled far
C G C
And I called that good life of the dreams
[Chorus]
F C
Yes I've been lots of places and I've seen lots of faces
G C C7
But the best things in life have passed me by
F C
Now I know I've been wrong and I'm longing for a home
G C
And I hope that I find one before I die
[Solo]
G C F G C
Olda layde ho, aho lode ho le lade
[Verse 2]
F
Well I thought it would be fun just to ride on my thumb
C G
Or to steal away on some old freight train
C F
But I didn't count the cost of the good things I lost
C G C
And I didn't count the hunger and the pain
[Chorus]
F C
Yes I've been lots of places and I've seen lots of faces
G C C7
But the best things in life have passed me by
F C
Now I know I've been wrong and I'm longing for a home
G C
And I hope that I find one before I die
