My only shoes are paper thin

Iâ??ve hawked my clothes everywhere I've been

Iâ??m down to nothin' and here I am

Why did I leave a good home town

To ride the freights and bum around

The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet

But I can't wait till I'm on my feet

Down on my luck but I still got my pride

Can't find a job but oh how I've tried

Ain't got the price of a telegram

I've heard a thousand no's and they all hurt

Who wants a man in a dirty shirt

I can't keep going with this heavy load

Sometimes I think it's the end of the road

A man's got hope though he's not got a dime

He keeps a livin' just a breath at a time

I can't wait till I'm out of this jam
