The chorus of the original version features the lines:

And hither I become once more on my own
Goin' downwardly the only road I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk solitary

In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" simply equally that was already used in different songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that information technology would not exist misheard as "human".[ten] [12]

The vocal was used in the climax of romantic one-act film Man Upwardly (2015).[10]
