The chorus of the original version features the lines:

And here I go again on my own
Goin' downwards the only road I've ever known
Similar a hobo I was born to walk lonely

In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "out-of-stater" but equally that was already used in dissimilar songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "out-of-stater" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo".[10] [12]
