Together my friend, we have come this far
now living our lives under many a star.
A sausage for you and one for me
as together we share a life so free.
Once so rich, the world at my feet
I had it all with a life so complete,
you had the best of everything money could buy
staying firmly with me when I was left high and dry.
An educated man, thought I knew all the tricks
yet my so called friends fleeced me real quick,
eventually left dressed in poverty's clothes
as others walked by with their stuck up nose.
You are the one true light who stayed by my side
following me everywhere, on with life together we stride,
your love unconditional, no matter the cost
I feel life has blessed me, nothing true have I lost.
We look like we have nothing, but our lives are our own
as we roam the world I know my wisdom has grown,
a hobo I may now be, but with riches untold
to have you my friend, is like finding pure gold.

a good piece, when i was a younger man, not that i am that old now but... i thought i would end up a tramp, and there is still yet for that to be achieved, so can i have a sausage please, i might get hungry later.

I had a feeling, through out your write
it was about two, who travel real light
deserving of gold,a message clear sent
highest commitment, unconditional intent
sharing their love, put life on the line
inseparable pair, shared by you in ryhme
