It's been two weeks since I left home
I'm makin my name in Reno, but Momma I'm so alone
Don't worry I've got food and a room to sleep
And I'm makin good money just playing on the street
It's not too bad, and I'm learnin a ton
And I enjoy singin underneath the hot Nevada sun
The seasons are changin and so is my heart
I'm headin out east for a fresh start
Wanderin across the land, heaven knows where I'll go
Just searchin for who I am
Travelin under the stars, walkin these long roads
Just me and my guitar, I'm a six string hobo
It's been two years since I've been gone
And I haven't smiled in oh so long
I had my heart broken by a dirty dame
I don't have a home or any money to my name
Things have been terrible, I'm not gonna lie
And lately I've been singin just to get bye
Times are rough, that's a fact
But momma my pride won't let me come back
Wanderin across the land, heaven knows where I'll go
Just searchin for who I am
Travelin under the stars, walkin these long roads
Just me and my guitar, I'm a six string hobo
It's been five years since I left town
Yeah things are lookin up and some hope I've found
I was in Memphis just playin in a bar
When a man asked, "son would you like to be a star?"
My knees went weak, I didn't know what to say
But now I'm headed for New Orleans on Monday
Wanderin across the land, heaven knows where I'll go
Just searchin for who I am
Travelin under the stars, walkin these long roads
Just me and my guitar, I'm a six string
I'm a six string hobo
