Only A Hobo Lyrics - Gasoline Alley - Rod Stewart

As I was out walking on the corner one day 

I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay 

His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor 

I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more 

He was only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Leaving nobody to carry it on 

Leaving nobody to sing his sad song 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

A blanket of newspaper covered his head 

The step was his pillow 

The street was his bed 

One look at his face 

showed the hard road he'd come 

and a fistful of money 

showed the coins that he'd bummed

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

He was only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song 

Leavin' nobody to carry it on 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Does it take much of a man 

to see a whole life go down 

To look on the world 

from a hole in the ground 

Too late for your future 

like a horse that's gone lame 

To lie in the gutter 

and die with no name 

He was only a hobo, but one more is gone 

Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song 

Leavin' nobody to carry it on 

Only a hobo, but one more is gone
