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 (x2)
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me
Like a hobo from a broken home
Nothing's gonna stop me, no
