hobo jungle, part one

down by the edge of town

where the water runs down

down where the weeds grow high

north of the county line

there's a place I've never seen

but I hear it's pretty mean

and they call it hobo jungle

back when I was a kid

I remember my mama said

son if you don't start walking straight

boy it will be your fate

you'll wind up like those men

whose dreams come to an end

down in hobo jungle

so I studied hard and played the game

obedience was my middle name

and I did what I was told

till my head was gonna explode

to be continued...


(last verse 7/9/2012)


but every now and then
those thoughts come back again
and I dream of hobo jungle
