WHERE HAVE ALL THE HOBOES GONE
(Dave Kirby - Danny Morrison)
« © '76 Tree Publishing »

The silver rails have lost their shine they're just the victims of our time
They might as well rust in the rain what good's a track without a train
Where have all the hoboes gone I never knew they even had a home
So Lord if you have turned your back you might as well take off the track

I love to hear a whistle whine just ride a boxcar one more time
So Lord if you're still on my side you'll send me one more train to ride
Where have all the hoboes gone...
Hm hmm so Lord if you're still on my side you'll send me one more train to ride
