Well, I'm a homeless man. With my thumb in the wind. I sure miss my kin but then again. I'm on the road with a song for you. . I took a step, I lost a bet.
Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be running late. By the flowers upon my grave. Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be coming home. Don't wait for me. Long by the telephone.
Well, I? ve been workin? in the goddamn sun. With just for a dollar a day. Been workin? for a dollar a day. I? ve been workin? for dollar a day. . Man, I never understood why all my money.
Let your mamma's cry. When the trains roll at night. Let the wildfires fly. With the soul of child. . When the day is done. I was born a bad man's son.
Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be running late. By the flowers upon my grave. Don't wait for me. 'Cause I'll be coming home. Don't wait for me. Long by the telephone.
Well, I? ve been workin? in the goddamn sun. With just for a dollar a day. Been workin? for a dollar a day. I? ve been workin? for dollar a day. . Man, I never understood why all my money.
