Guttersnipe

I jumped the first train I saw, it'll surely take me home
 If I had a mama, at least I'd have a place to go
 I'm just a guttersnipe, I got no place to wipe my nose
 I jumped the first train I saw, it'll surely take me home
 A buzzard riding the rails
 I steal my meals when all else fails
 I'm right at home on the line
 I'm well on my way to feeling fine
 I've been to Juarez, I been to Houston, Baton Rouge
 I got some good friends, some folks to really help me through
 I've been all over, I spend my time just like I do
 I stay out of trouble, but its got a way of finding you
 A buzzard riding the rails
 I steal my meals when all else fails
 I'm right at home on the line
 I'm well on my way to feeling fine
 I'm a railroad urchin
 Searching for peace of mind
 I'm in need of some churchin'
 And out here all I have is time
 I can't get my money right, I can't even put my two cents in
 I pray the lawmen, I hope they wont catch me again
 I'm just a vagabond, I live to see the light of dawn
 The train beats a rhythm, and I love to sing along
 A buzzard riding the rails
 I steal my meals when all else fails
 I never heeded the signs
 But I'm well on my way to feeling fine
