hobo joe's confession
I was walking down Waters StreetOut of nowhere, I hear someone say to meExcuse me sir but can you spare a buckI said try the next guy buddyMaybe then you’ll have better luck
But there was something in his eyesThat kept me from just walking bySo I asked him what’s your name HoboAnd how did you ever get to be so low
He said my name is Joe as he looked into the skyTears started falling down from his eyesYou asked me a questionSo I am going to ask you to stayIt won’t take long to hear what I got to sayYour question is easyAs I think about it every second of every day
I wanted to walk away but I asked the questionsNow I had to listen to Hobo Joe’s confession
I had a wife that I loved with all my heartI had a little boy that could have been a doctor as he was so smartI had a little girl that was as beautiful as this whole world
Then he starts to cry again right before he confessed to me his sinI wanted to walk away but I asked the questions
I wanted to walk away but I asked the questionsNow I had to listen to Hobo Joe’s confession
It was early and I was out drinking with my friendsI drank seven beers and seven double shots of ginThat was the beginning of my end….I told myself not to drive, that I was headed for troubleI could just barely walk and I was seeing double
I couldn’t see just one lane so I covered my left eyeThe car I hit when I ran through the red lightWas carrying my two kids and my beautiful wifeIn an instant I became all so soberJust to watch the car roll over and overI wanted to walk away but I asked the questions
I wanted to walk away but I asked the questionsNow I had to listen to Hobo Joe’s confession
I thought of ending myselfAs I can’t think of anything elseTo punish myself for this crime of mine I deserve to be alivebecause there’s nowhere for me to hide from myself you seeJust as I told you, your question is easyAs I think about it every second of the day
I wanted to walk away...I wanted to walk away...I wanted to walk away...but I asked the questions why
I’ll never forget the day
I looked into a broke man’s eyes and I saw a dead man cryMaybe we should all think before we drink and driveI wanted to walk away but I asked the questionsNow I had to listen to Hobo Joe’s confession
But there was something in his eyesThat kept me from just walking bySo I asked him what’s your name HoboAnd how did you ever get to be so low
