Exit stage left

I always preferred The Littlest Hobo to Lassie. I dunno', Lassie just seemed a little too prim & proper. 'Hobo at least looked like he'd been on the road.

Huh?

Random? Yes, of course, but this bubbled up out of a lunchtime chat today.

Anyway.

So then, I am no longer employed by the bookshop.

Felt a little strange, a little anti-climactic.

It always is.

But I stayed true to myself and my colleagues and worked hard until the end. Could've stopped giving a damn a long while back, but that ain't me.

Definitely the right time to move on.

The grass is greener on the other side, I'm sure of that.

It just happens to taste a little different.

Maybe Tomorrow by Terry Bush & John Crossen.
Performed by Terry Bush as the theme to 'The Littlest Hobo'

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be.

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Down this road, that never seems to end,
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend.

So if you want to join me for a while,
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.

So if you want to join me for a while,
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

[Instrumental Bridge]

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold,
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,

We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long,
We're almost there and we've paid our fare, with the hobo song.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam.
