[Verse 1]
I roam these hills carrying the fox I found
And when I’m tired I’ll lay it down
And get myself a drink of water
But I will keep on through til I’ve reached your door
Lay the hide out on the floor
Give you Cap’n Jerry’s fifty dollars

[Verse 2]
He said he’s sorry he could not stay
But there were things that couldn’t wait
He’ll be back when he tends to business
But I feared you’d think the Cap’n was an unjust man
So I thought I’d lend a hand
And bring back the debt he owed you

[Chorus]
And who knows along the way
I might find myself a reason
As to why I live this way
Runnin’ up and down thesе dirty streets
Throwing my money so I don’t sleep alone

[Verse 3]
Look straight ahead Aaron is on his way
Ridin’ for thе same old thing
I guess it was perfect timin’
Cause my heart is strong but my bones they ache
But they always do these days
From livin’ like a drunken heathen
[Chorus]
And who knows along the way
I might find myself a reason
As to why I live this way
Runnin’ up and down these dirty streets
Throwing my money so I don’t sleep alone
