Paul Simon - Papa Hobo lyrics
[Paul Simon - Papa Hobo lyrics]
It's carbon and monoxide
The Ole Detroit perfume
And it hangs on the highways in the morning
And it lays you down by noon oh Papa Hobo
You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy
But I feel like a clown
It's a natural reaction I learned
In this basketball town
Sweep up
I been sweeping up the tips I've made
I been living on Gatorade
Planning my getaway detroit, Detroit
Got a hell of a hockey team
Got a left handed way
Of making a man sign up on that
Automotive dream, oh yeah oh Papa Papa Hobo
Could you slip me a ride
Well, it's just after breakfast
I'm in the road and the weatherman lied
The Ole Detroit perfume
And it hangs on the highways in the morning
And it lays you down by noon oh Papa Hobo
You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy
But I feel like a clown
It's a natural reaction I learned
In this basketball town
Sweep up
I been sweeping up the tips I've made
I been living on Gatorade
Planning my getaway detroit, Detroit
Got a hell of a hockey team
Got a left handed way
Of making a man sign up on that
Automotive dream, oh yeah oh Papa Papa Hobo
Could you slip me a ride
Well, it's just after breakfast
I'm in the road and the weatherman lied
