[Verse 1]
It takes a nation's greed
To do nothing
And make it all look wrong
No desire anymore
Leave me alone
And let the ravens roam
[Verse 2]
Surfing a concrete wave
A subterranean cave
And what’s the difference now?
The tramp, the tames, the iron trail
Czar of the rails
Is never for sale
[Chorus]
Who, who knows (Who knows?)
Where (Where) the hobo goes?
Who, who knows (Who knows?)
Where (Where) the hobo goes?
[Refrain]
Yard bull
[Chorus]
Who, who knows
Where the hobo goes?
Who, who knows?
[Verse 3]
The tracks stitched like seams
On a blanket of dreams
The lonesome whistle blows
Arrive and disappear
Like a windward fear
The wanderlust, she calls
Find your own boxcar
Like Harry Partch
Slow engines to a crawl
[Refrain]
Yard bull
[Verse 4]
Skyscrapers, corn fields
Old orange peels
Like pages in a book
We're floating state by state
See you on the freights
Yard bull
