Intro

When I was younger I was torn afraid & lonely

I knew I had to move gotta hit the road

Someday I would move and hide out where no one could ever catch me

Cause those are bound to move gotta hit the road

Call for the hobo, but he was nowhere to be found

Call for the hobo, but he was nowhere to be found

He must be lost down on Straylin Street

He must be lost down on Straylin Street

I spend all my time chasin nowhere gettin higher

I found out I was nowhere and it hit me hard

Thought I'd jump a train and head out for Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

But the brakeman passed me by cause he was blind

Call for the brakeman but he was nowhere to be found

Call for the brakeman but he was nowhere to be found

He must be lost down on Straylin Street

He must be lost down on Straylin Street

Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?

Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?

Well say can't you help, help, help a man like me?

Or are you lost down on Straylin Street

Or are you lost down on Straylin Street

Well I hit the road with my bag full of my laundry

I carried my book in my right hand

Karouac's got his words that reach for the young and the ramble hearted

Cause those are bound to move gotta hit the road

Call for the rider but he was nowhere to be found

Call for the rider but he was nowhere to be found

He must be lost down on Straylin Street

He must be lost down on Straylin Street
