Around the time of the second world war
A new kind of man came through the door
"I ain't looking for food
I'm looking for work
Not afraid to sweat - digging in the dirt
I ain't looking for a hand-out
But I'm willing to lend a hand to the man that pays me
Yes I am
Mr. Roosevelt - he understands I'm a hobo kinda man
I've been ridin' this train
I've been up all night
I'll be swinging that hoe before daylight
When the next box car comes along
I'll jump it and fight ya and call it my home
When the money runs out, so do I
I'll be ridin' these rails 'till times change and kill me
Yes I will
I never know where I am, hey - I'm a hobo kinda man
That's what I am
Those steel wheels-a-rollin'
Somewhere I feel me towing, I know
I can hear that whistle blowin'
Come tomorrow morning
I'll be gone
Yeah
Oh! I'm a hobo kinda man
I'm always leaving my wife and kids behind
Workin' somewhere on down the line
Every night I sleep in a different town
I never know, honey, where I'm bound
Livin' out of a suitcase
I changed from a train to a silver eagle
But I'm getting all I can
I'm a modern day hobo kinda man
These steel wheels-a-rollin'
Somewhere I feel me towing
I can hear that whistle blowin'
Come tomorrow morning
This old boy be gone
Yeah
I'm a hobo kinda man
That's what I am
I'm a hobo man
A movin' on down the line
A hobo man
Yeah, that's what I am
I'm a hobo man
The lyrics HOBO KINDA MAN of LYNYRD SKYNYRD is also present in the album God & guns (2009)
Lynyrd Skynyrd è una leggendaria band americana di Southern Rock formatasi a Jacksonville, in Florida, nel 1964. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound caratterizzato da riff bluesy, testi evocativi del Sud degli Stati Uniti e virtuosismi chitarristici. I Lynyrd Skynyrd sono noti per brani iconici come "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird" e "Simple Man". La band ha subito una tragedia nel 1977 con l'incidente aereo che ha portato alla morte di tre membri fondatori, tra cui il chitarrista Allen Collins. Nonostante questo duro colpo, i Lynyrd Skynyrd sono tornati in attività negli anni '80 e continuano ad essere un punto di riferimento per il Southern Rock, influenzando generazioni di musicisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
