I met that Bo on the way to Bangor Last Spring He was a man blown outta glass Just released from the Big House Most said that he was a Bindlestiff But there aint no truth In that
He looked at me and called me an Angelina Just another inexperienced kid Who wanted to hit the rail and travel He sat me down by the fire and told me about Bad roads and accommodation cars and how to flip and evade the Bulls also how to spot the easy marks
Bindlestiks and California Blankets We sat eating bullets and gumps Smoking snipes into the night. With the moon as our cover Safe in the Jungle No buzzards around that night
The following day we would be padding the hoof along the main drag Looking for a train to grab on the fly and see were destiny would take us
