~~ A HOBO'S CALL ~~
Seems to me that I've always had the itch
And I'll be forever looking down that road
Especially when life's being such a bitch
Want to travel so bad I'm about to implode
Need to discover what's 'round that corner
What surprises are there waiting for me
Views along that road tempt one to linger
But I'm not stoppin' an that's a guarantee
Cuz there's way too many places to go
An Kings and paupers to meet and greet
Be wined, dined, warmed by a fires glow
To laugh contagiously without any conceit
Allow a tear to show if sadness be near
But face all challenges with anticipation
Cause they bring adventure and not fear
Life on-the-road is filled with exhileration
Trying to sate my unquenchable curiosity
And maybe fulfill that never ending quest
Infiltrate hearts, an minds sans animosity
To gather many friends from east to west
If we could assemble in one great place
To meet the facinating people out there
Have time to savor one's sweet embrace
We could make this world easier to share
An as we travel this aimless twisting road
Towards our legacy the future generation
Our spirit of discovery will carry the load
Tho the route may seem without direction
Our indomitable heritage will find the way
We're all hobo's at heart right from birth
Ancesters instilled the desire on that day
When they gathered all they were worth
And struck out for the unknown alone
Climbed aboard ship, or prairie schooner
Maybe with just a horse, a dog an a bone
But they were coming, one way or another
And get here they did, our ancesters all
Fightin' an scrappin' til molded into one
The white, black, yellow, thin, short an tall
An don't forget our brave proud native son
So let us share in this nation's celebration
Salute all who's fortitude opened the door.
To discover and forge this great nation
They who heeded a hobo's call to explore
