Hobo Wind

Hobo wind blows down the track
A forgotten whistle and a clackity-clack
Just lookin' for a long lost friend
Aint nothin' more lonely than the hobo wind

Hobo wind rides abandoned rails
Stirs the potter's fields where the unknown fell
Across the trestle and around the bend
Aint nothin' more sadder than the hobo wind

Deserted box cars along the way
Now just a home where the critters stay
But there's a railroad song and the smell of gin
Ridin' on the tail of that hobo wind

Hobo wind is lost in time
From coast to coast on a ghostly line
A restless feelin' so deep within
An endless destination for the hobo wind

Deserted box cars along the way
Now just a home where the critters stay
But there's a railroad song and the smell of gin
Ridin' on the tail of that hobo wind
Ridin' on the tail of that hobo wind

Michael,

I’m always a little reticent to tell someone “This is the best I’ve ever read or heard from you”—because it slights all the wonderful lyrics and tunes I’ve read from them previously. So I won’t say that on this one from you (rather I’ll just think it silently to myself). Which is to say that this is really, really good, stellar from start to finish. Awesome lyric!

All the best,

Deej

I like this too; good work friend.

You always write a colourful lyric Michael.
Not a cliché in sight.
I have seen this title before somewhere but not the lyrics.
Good work.

Vic

Thanks Deej,that truly means a lot.Thanks for your time. Mike

One word...awesome

Thanks for checking it out,Alanjack. Mike

Hobo wind summoned up thoughts of an old tramp sat warming his hands on a makeshift fire on vacant lot. And letting off the occasional trouser cough.
Obviously this is'nt how you saw it.
A good story and song in the making.
