It was a long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track
To hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
I am just a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
Ohhh, and my heart in your hand
Now I don't have to pick
And I don't have to choose
I don't have to win
And I don't want to lose
If I make any pay
I just throw it away
I don't count on tomorrow
I just live for today
Sir, I am a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand
And you opened your heart
And you let me inside
And made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight
Oh a long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of track
To hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of train track
To hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
I am just a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
Ohhh, and my heart in your hand
Now I don't have to pick
And I don't have to choose
I don't have to win
And I don't want to lose
If I make any pay
I just throw it away
I don't count on tomorrow
I just live for today
Sir, I am a tramp on your street
And you must understand
You got my soul at your feet
And my heart in your hand
And you opened your heart
And you let me inside
And made a stray dog like me
Feel welcome tonight
Oh a long time ago
No shoes on my feet
I walked ten miles of track
To hear Hank Williams sing
His body was worn
But his spirit was free
And he sang every song
Looking right straight at me
