The Incomplete Image (4/4 Troubadour) Songtext
Did I tell you the story of the 4/4 troubadour The traveling tramp Or the barefoot bum? Did I tell you the story of the carefree gypsy The hitching hobo The rich man's son? Last seen hitching down the Whitehorse Highway Picking on a guitar And waiting on a ride He'd been running on steam since he was sixteen Now the Daddy wants to see the boy before he dies Did I tell you the story of the poor man's daughter Of the poor man's lover Of the poor man's ward? Did I tell you the story of the poor man's hired hand? She keeps his house for her room and board Last seen hitching at the edge of town With a sign that said "Anywhere but here" Now she never found a job where she was not fired But she never found a town where she was not hired
