Too many times in the last few years The street lifes been my way I've been drifting around from town to town Trying to make pay But every one i stop in They just turn me away It's so hard to get your feet on the ground When you've got no place to stay And all i own is this old suitcase that i hide down by the track It holds a picture of my mom and dad With a letter that reads please someday come back my ex girlfriend's worn out necklace And a book i never read A church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds I tried to sleep last night but it was so damn cold and no where to get warm I finally drifted off into a dream and a place that i called home The front porch up on mountain view you'd never hear a sound There's just a nice warm breeze blowing through the trees And not this cold hard ground I started hiking yesterday i didn't see a car for miles My mind is wearing thin now and i've misplaced my smile I wish i had the courage i'd call you on the phone With a little luck i might get picked up and find my way back home And all i own is this old suitcase That i hide down by the track It holds a picture of my mom and dad with a letter That reads please someday come back My ex girlfriend's worn out necklace and a book i never read A church key and some bottle caps and a tiny bag of seeds
