lyrics

I am vagabond and I live out on the open road
I go along to where I want to go
My home is where I lay my load
No I don't want for much
Gimme a bed to lay my head
I’ll take any gig that I can get
Just so I can make my bread
I do what I need to do, I’m a doing kind of guy
I do what I need to do so I can get by

Got a banjo on my knee
Got purple mountain majesty
God shed his grace on thee
It's a hobo's life for me

I am a vagabond and I hit the bricks
Ain’t no one can bail me out
Whenever I get in a fix
No I don't want for much
Just the occasional meal
Whatever I can’t connive
I just go ahead and steal
I do what I need to do, I’m a doing kind of dude
I do what I need to do, that’s my me-first attitude

I get to live my life like Kerouac
Ain’t got no monkey on my back
Never bothered to take myself a wife
But that don't matter, the road is my life

I am a vagabond and I live my life by my wits
No one tells me what to do
And I ain’t one of them hypocrites
No I don't want for much
I only need a couple of bucks
Don’t want no mansion on a hill
The street is my deluxe
I do what I need to do, I’m a doing kind of bro
I do what I need to do just so I can get up and go
