Sometimes I win And sometimes I lose And sometimes I can’t help myself I sing them a-walking blues I’ve been raised up, misdirected Lost and a-looking for some kinda sign
I don’t know whose life you’re living But it sure ain’t mine
9 days on a riverbed 9 days in a canyon 9 days with my aching head And legs just won’t stand I’ve been drowning in a gutter Blinded by this railroad wine
I don’t know whose life you’re living But it sure ain’t mine
Keep on telling me I got something to lose One too many holes in the soles of my shoes Kicking around town Heavy with my hobo blues My roof is a-leaking and my floors are all old My pickup won’t run some fort to carry me no load Been handing me a nickle I turn around And they roll me for a dime
Don’t know whose life you’re living But it sure ain’t mine Keep on telling me I got something to lose One too many holes in the soles of my shoes Kicking around town Heavy with my hobo blues
Sometimes I win And sometimes I lose And sometimes I can’t help myself I sing them a-walking blues I’ve been raised up, misdirected Lost and a-looking for some kinda sign
I don’t know whose life you’re living But it sure ain’t mine
