Guttersnipe Songtext
von Bhi Bhiman

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
