Biography:
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).
The last show was in 2007.

G G6 C Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
G G6 C Cmaj7
Well it's hard to believe in much
G G6 C Cmaj7
When you're in Tampa Bay.
G G6 C Cmaj7 G
And the coastline is drowning beneath all the sunshine and
G6 C Cmaj7
condos and cocaine.
Am C
And everyone around's just waiting round here to be dead
G G6 C Cmaj7
Am C
From your rich grandma on down through the crackhead.
G G6 C Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7
Well I guess that Florida
G G6 C Cmaj7
is the wrong kinda wasteland for me,
Am C
and St. Petersburg is a city of ghosts and bad dreams.
G G6 C Cmaj7
[Chorus]
Am C
But I don't go to college or California
G G6 C Cmaj7
hah-hah-hah-hah-ha
Am C
No, I don't go to college or California.
G G6 C Cmaj7
[Verse 3]
G G6 C Cmaj7
Well I'm not a nihilist,
G G6 C Cmaj7
I just can't pledge alliegance to shit.
G G6 C Cmaj7 G
And that goes just the same for your Gods and your empires
G6 C Cmaj7
and your scene politics.
Am C G G6 C Cmaj7
Now I'm not saying I'm not an asshole, just that you're one too.
Am C
But there's six bilion of us so I'm not saying nothing new.
G G6 C Cmaj7
[Verse 4]
G G6 C Cmaj7
Straight edge never got me through
G G6 C Cmaj7
one single night this cold.
Am C
But you know how that goes, or maybe you just really don't.
G G6 C Cmaj7
[Chorus]
Am C
But I don't go to college or California
G G6 C Cmaj7
