Just added breaks, hope it works..


I was walkin' by the graveyard late last Friday night.
I heard somebody yellin'; it sounded like a fight.
It was just a drunken hobo, dancin' circles in the night,
Pourin' whisky on the headstones in the blue moonlight.
So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go,
Down in some hidden valley where their sorrows cannot show,
Where the police cannot find them, where the wanted man can go.
There's freedom when you're walkin' even though you're walkin' slow.

Chorus: Smash your bottle on the gravestone and live while you can.
That homeless brother is my friend.

It's hard to be a pack rat; it's hard to be a 'bo,
But livin's so much harder where the heartless people go.
Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to know
That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo.
And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill,
And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of frill,
And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill,
And they're sad to do their livin' for some other kind of thrill.

CHORUS

Somewhere there was a woman; somewhere there was a child.
Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild,
But somewhere's just like nowhere, when you leave it for a while.
You'll find the brokenhearted when you're travelin' jungle style,
Down the bowels of a broken land where numbers live like men,
Where those who keep their senses have them taken back again,
Where the nightstick cracks with crazy rage, where madmen don't pretend,
Where wealth has no beginning and poverty no end.

CHORUS

The ghosts of highway royalty have vanished in the night.
The Whitman wanderer walking toward a glowing inner light.
The children have grown older and the cops have gripped us tight.
There's no spot 'round the melting pot for free men in their flight,
And you who live on promises and prosper as you please,
The victim of your riches often dies of your disease.
He can't hear the factory whistle, just the lonesome freight train's wheeze.
He's livin' on good fortune; he ain't dyin' on his knees.

Smash your bottle on the gravestone and live while you can
That homeless brother is my friend
That homeless brother is my friend
