Too many times in the last few years

The street lifes been my way

I’ve been drifting around from town to town

Trying to make pay

But everyone I stop in

They just turn me away

It’s so hard to get your feet on the ground

When you’ve got no place to stay

And all I own is this old suitcase that I hide down by the track

It holds a picture of my mom and dad

With a letter that reads please someday come back

my ex girlfriend’s worn out necklace

And a book I never read

A church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds

I tried to sleep last night but it was so damn cold and nowhere to get warm

I finally drifted off into a dream and a place that I called home

The front porch up on mountain view you’d never hear a sound

There’s just a nice warm breeze blowing through the trees

And not this cold hard ground

I started hiking yesterday I didn’t see a car for miles

my mind is wearing thin now and I’ve misplaced my smile

I wish I had the courage I'd call you on the phone

With a little luck I might get picked up and find my way back home

And all I own is this old suitcase

that I hide down by the track

It holds a picture of my mom and dad with a letter

That reads please someday come back

My ex girlfriend’s worn out necklace and a book I never read

A church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds
