Tramp (How It Is) - Stray Dog

«Giving to those who seek the love that waits inside

Each man feels kindness, for we are all as one»

Fasten your seat belt

Walkin' down the highway

My guitar in my hand

With seven fine ladies

All at my command

I know they want to hold me

'Gainst the power of the sun

Oh yes, I know, oh yes, I know

But I just keep right on floating

You got no blues that I can see

'Cause nothing can tame a tramp like me

Holdin' me down, won’t stick around

As l did before, come on open your door

You say that again, you have got a friend

You’re making a scene, oh I’m not obscene

Maybe I’m just a Texas boy in the noose, see

Oh shut up

Oh come on, kill me

Huh, you’re holding me down, l won’t stick around

You’ve heard it before, come on, I’II open the door

You’ve said it again, come on I’m your friend

You’re holding me down

Look out, this tramp is leaving town

Oh I got to tell you

Living out of a suitcase

Makes a man feel fat and sassy

Lazing in the sunshine

Baked a smile upon my face

I’m in no hurry

To leave this filthy place

But tomorrow l’Il be moving

Down the road to sing the blues

Yes, you know, oh yes, you know

Maybe someday I’lI stop drifting

Until then l’lI wait and see

'Cause nothing has ever tamed a tramp like me

Holdin' me down

Well, I’m nobody’s clown

Tried it before, come on open your door

Said it again, l’ve been round the hand, holdin' me down

Hey Jack, I’m splitting this town

And I ain’t comin' home, oh yeah
