HoBo (2016) Lyrics by Charlie Parr

I Ain’t Dead Yet

2016

[Verse 1]
\nI want my son to have this when I'm dead
\nIt’s a book I always start but I'd never read
\nI was born to follow in the steps my dad tread
\nBut if I'd known that, I’d have fled
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me what I'm doing here?
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me where I'm goin'?
\nAin't somebody gonna spend a blank minute on me?
\nAnd pray for an old hobo who's gone wrong
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nEvery day I wake up is a new day
\nEvery song I sing contains a new refrain
\nWhen I meet you again, we’ll have changed
\nAnd I’ll remember your face but maybe not your name
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAin't somеbody gonna tell me what I’m doing herе?
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me where I'm goin'?
\nAin’t somebody gonna spend a blank minute on me?
\nAnd pray for an old hobo who's gone wrong
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nLife is made up of long hours
\nThat last about as long as you can breathe
\nSo close your eyes and just let it roll on
\nYou wake up and find you've missed out on everything
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me what I'm doing here?
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me where I'm goin'?
\nAin't somebody gonna spend a blank minute on me?
\nAnd pray for an old hobo who's gone wrong
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nAnd the woods around my town have no ending
\nI don't really live there, though, I just don't
\nAnd the lake that's by my town has no bottom
\nI know somebody who dove in and never came home
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me what I'm doing here?
\nAin't somebody gonna tell me where I'm goin'?
\nAin't somebody gonna spend a blank minute on me?
\nAnd pray for an old hobo who's gone wrong\n\n
