Analysis of Nothing Here
Railroad days and nights
you gotta know how to fight.
Shelter and food
I have been booed.
A kid I can use
I’ve never been abused.
I have been told a hobos life is something to behold.
Odd jobs, work, mooch, and steal is the only thing I can feel.
Drifting along
a bums life is where I belong.
