Lyrics

The faces slip into the shadows
and disappear before your eyes
the neon glows as the city
surrenders slowly to the night
farewell to the sidewalk sultans
the leopard ladies wave goodbye
you're just another highway hobo
chasing a dream into the night

You broke lose from the city jungle
the blazes took you through the South
in Baton Rogue you met a lady
but she took your spirit to the ground
you tried so hard to recover
the soul you left beneath her bed
'cause you're just another lonely hobo
with crazy visions in your head

Flying down your dusty highway in the wind
down the backroads of your mind
a stranger looks out at your world from within
listen to him
listen ti him
he sees the beauty and the sin

Did you think the road was east
when you first raised your painted sail?
Did you think you'd last forever
on an endless concrete trail
well, you're gettin' old
I even heard you say it
and rambling eats away your life
but carry on you highway hobo
on your journey through the night
carry on you highway hobo
and always know that it's alright
carry on you highway hobo
until your destiny's in sight
