Stoggy

Hauled back on a stoggy
Last one that I got
Took a sip of sherry
Man that hit the spot
Sittin is the life
But it sure ain’t easy
It can pay you well if you try
But I just ain’t that sleazy
I ain’t no king
Just a man on the road
I ain’t got no throne
No fancy clothes
All I got and need
Is on my back
I ain’t got no Cadillac
All I got
Is all I need
And like I said
I wear on my back
No books, no movies
No magazines
No records or CD discs
For them fancy machines
Life sure ain’t easy
And I ain’t no king
I got what I got
I don’t need me no other thing
I’m just a man on the road
And I ain’t got no throne
And no fancy clothes
All I got and need
Is on my back
I ain’t got no Cadillac
All I got
Is all I need
And like I said
I wear on my back
I guess I best be walking
To a busier part of town
Where there’s more folks
There’s usually smokes
Stoggy’s on the ground
Hauled back on a stoggy
Last one that I got
Took a sip of sherry
Man that hit the spot
Stoggy’s on the ground
Quarters in the pot.

all the hobos in the world
with a special shout out
to Seasick Steve for being
such an inspiration and a
cool guy!)
