Hobos And Kings Lyrics

Hobos And Kings lyrics

And you see him by the railroad track each mornin

Telling stories to the
hobos sittin round



And you wonder bout the past that he is

That for all of them a new life would begin

Cause
he gives them one more day that they can live for.

And the promise of the
joy that it will bring.



And you wonder what will happen in the
morning.

When they find that they no longer have their king.



For his eyes are closed but he's no longer sleeping.

And their king
will no longer be around.



And you'll see a look of fear on all
their faces.

As they see their hopes and dreams come tumbling down.



So you quickly drink a story from the bottle.

And all at once
you now possess the crown.



And they'll find you by the railroad
track each morning.

Telling stories to the hobos sittin round.



And they'll wonder about the past that you are hiding.

And the
