Instrumental track but tell me you've never heard a harmonica sound more like a rumbling freight

Through no encouragement or implication on my part at all, many people have referred to and known me as a 'hobo', at least in those places I've stayed and/or worked over the last couple of years. So, seeing how I am a hobo, for all intents and purposes this is my hobo song

You know I need your love,
You got that hold over me
Long as I got your love,
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life,
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you,
woman,
right down the line
I know how much I lean on you,
Only you can see
Changes that I've been true,
Have left there mark on me
You've been as constant as the northern star,
The brightest light that shines
It's been you,
woman,
right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything,
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way
of telling you that everyday,
I'm loving you so much more
Cause you believed in me
through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me,
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams,
I put them all behind
And it was you,
woman,
right down the line
I just wanna say
this is my way
Of telling you everything,
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way
of telling you that everyday,
I'm loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself,
If I'm losing ground
I wont turn to someone else,
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life,
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you,
woman,
right down the line
