Story Behind The Song
When two hobo's are sharing one can of beans... the beans last only half as long. The beans go only half as far... But the beans make twice the difference as they would have otherwise.

Lyrics
Now thinking with my feet
There's no telling where I'll be,
Kansas City on the square or New Orleans,
Well I been blowin' through folks lives,
Like a storm out on the rise,
Staying long enough to know its time to leave,
*chorus:
Now again and again I see the shape im in,
And I wish I'd taken a thousand different roads,
But there comes a time when you look back at where you've been,
And its usually when you got nowhere to go,
And for me that times is now so I'm lookin' back at how,
Foolish I was to go thinkin' with my feet,
But we are who we are, I shoulda been thinkin' with my heart,
And never walked away from someone dear to me,
===========================================
Well I been thinking with my feet,
Bout the next place I might be,
Rollin dice I'll leave out howling at the moon,
And I've known the saddest truth,
Since the day I walked out on you,
Feeling nothing lying awake in a strangers room,
*chorus
But again and again I see the shape that I'm in
And I wish I'd taken a thousand different roads
But there comes a time when you look back on where you've been
And it's usually when you got nowhere to go
And for me that times is now - so I'm lookin' back at how
Foolish I was to go thinkin' with my feet
But we are who we are - I should've been thinkin' with my heart
And never walked away from someone dear to me
