Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /ˌlɛnərd ˈskɪnərd/ LEN-ərd-SKIN-ərd) is an American rock band best known for popularizing the Southern hard rock genre during the 1970s. Originally formed in 1964 as the "Noble Five" in Jacksonville, Florida, the band rose to worldwide recognition on the basis of its driving live performances and signature tunes "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Free Bird." At the peak of their success, three members died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation. more »

I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee 
I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be 
But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs 
So I asked the policeman 
Can I stay here long 
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now 
We don't want you around 
See I'm trying to build a respectable town 
And we don't need a hobo like you around 

So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand 
Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man 
But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange 
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train 
I'm a hobo I know, but thta's the price I pay 
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way 
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say 
Mr Choo-choo train take me away 

I'm goin' to ride this train Lord until I find out 
What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about 
See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine 
But I want to go back a little further in time 
I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay 
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way 
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say 
Mr Choo-choo train take me away
