Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains were a nihilistic folk-punk band from southern Vermont. They didn't hop freight trains. They did like to drink forties by the train tracks where the police wouldn't bother them. Most shows were a solo acoustic performance, but the full band at various times included Flash-C (trumpet), Ian Skumfuck (washtub bass), Jeff-face (harmonica), Roman (bicycle), Michael Jordan (drums), & Wyatt (harmonica).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I've also transcribed the trumpet part so email me if you want it
1,2,3,4 [Intro] E5B5C#5G#5A5 X4
[Verse 1] E5C#5G#5A5 I've got my 40 ounce and a system to overthrow E5C#5G#5A5 No one to worry about and nowhere to go E5C#5G#5A5 I traded in my hope for a hangover and a headache E5C#5G#5A5 I'm contemplating rope, but can't tie knots that great
[Chorus] E5C#5G#5A5 But who needs love? Not me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs friends? I got me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs drugs? Me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs sex? I got me!
[Verse 2] E5C#5G#5A5 I've got my 20 ounce and a front row seat to the parking lot E5C#5G#5A5 I'm on the corner now, watching them make out a lot. E5C#5G#5A5 I'd trade in all my pain for all your priceless pillow talk. E5C#5G#5A5 But I'm not too old enough, and I think I care too much.
[Chorus]
E5C#5G#5A5 But who needs love? Not me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs friends? I got me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs beer? Me! E5C#5G#5A5 Who needs sex? I got me!
