Hot Rize - I Long For The Hills lyrics

I saw a man a - walkin' His hands were in his pocket His head was hangin', lookin' at his feet Well he looked up and saw me And asked me for a quarter Or if I knew a good cheap place to eat Well I just shrugged my shoulders Said, "If I could help you brother I wouldn't be out walkin' on the street With nothin' more to say Just turned and walked away Hopin' for a richer man to meet I long for the old home I long for the hills Swingin' on the front porch Lord knows I ain't had my fill Well I left home at fifteen With a guitar and a dream And a heart that needs learnin' more of life I never had a job long I never was the kind To settle down forever with a wife I may have met some men That you read about in books And there were times that I was livin' right But I ain't got much to show Here livin' on skid row No one to help this old man through the night
