Things I learned
in a hobo jungle
Were things
they never taught
me in a classroom
Like where to
find a handout
While thumbin
through Chicago
in the afternoon
Hey I'm not braggin
or complainin
Just talkin to myself
man to man
This ole mental fat
I'm chewin didn't
take alot of doin
But I take alot of
pride in what I am
I guess I grew
up a loner
I don't remember
ever havin any
folks around
But I keep thumbin
through the
phone books
And lookin for
my daddy's name
in every town
And I meet lots
of friendly people
But I always end
up leavin on the lam
Where I've been or
where I'm goin
Didn't take alot
of knowin
But I take alot of
pride in what I am
I never travel
in a hurry
Cause I got nobody
waitin for
me anywhere
Home is
anywhere I'm livin
If it's sleepin on
some vacant bench
in City Square
Or if I'm workin
on some road gang
Or just livin off the
fat of our great land
I never been
nobody's idol
But at least
I got a title
And I take alot of
pride in what I am
I never been
nobody's idol
But at least
I got a title
And I take alot of
pride in what I am
I take alot of pride
in what I am
I take alot of pride
in what I am
