Biography:
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains were a nihilistic folk-punk band from southern Vermont. They didn't hop freight trains. They did like to drink forties by the train tracks where the police wouldn't bother them. Most shows were a solo acoustic performance, but the full band at various times included Flash-C (trumpet), Ian Skumfuck (washtub bass), Jeff-face (harmonica), Roman (bicycle), Michael Jordan (drums), & Wyatt (harmonica).
The last show was in 2007.

Verse 1
We were out shoplifting waiting
For the drugs to kick in cause
All that apartment ever gave me was lice
So I watch it break a little more every night
We were out hitchhiking waiting
For something to happen cause
Cause I’m walking the last time to the end of my street
And I’ll miss it cause I always hated purity
And I’ve been huffing spray paint lately
Around the corner in the alley
Sometimes dead brain cell are means for surviving
And toxins can be memories
Chorus
So I think of the good times
And the bad times
So I drink until I can’t
Leave all the rest behind
Repeat Intro
Verse 2
We were 6 months in just waiting
On a handle of gin
Cause we lost the calendar so long before
So we count the days by the bottles on the floor
We had heads full of acid waiting
For something to happen cause the
Landlord’s right below our feet and he can’t sleep
So we’re lucky to have lasted a week
And I haven’t been sleeping lately
Around the corner in the alley
Sometimes you just blame the crank
And sometimes you’re sleeping on broken glass
Chorus 2
So I think of the good times
And the bad times
So I drink until I can’t
Leave all the rest behind
