Box Car Willie - Hobo Heaven
[Verse]
E
I am going home to hobo heaven,
F#m
Where I can watch the lights of Dallas glow.
A B7
Someones wating there in hobo heaven,
E
Hobo's needin lovin to ya know.
E
Seems like I've been on the road forever,
F#m
Completely loosing track of day and time.
A B7
Gonna lay down in the green grass on the hillside,
E
Let that blue sky clear my troubled mind.
[Chorus]
A
A hobo's dream's are just like wings of angels,
E
They'll take him anywhere he wants to go.
B7
A miner takin me to hobo heaven,
E
Where I can watch the lights of Dallas glow.
[Verse]
E
Nights on the road are cold and lonely,
F#m
Some times my tears they start to flow.
A B7
I dream of her back in hobo heaven,
E
She's watchin the lights of Dallas glow.
[Chorus]
A
A hobo's dream's are just like wings of angels,
E
They'll take him anywhere he wants to go.
B7
A miner takin me to hobo heaven,
E
Where I can watch the lights of Dallas glow.
B7 E
Hobo heaven's where I wanna go.
