Pledging My Time Lyrics
It almost sounds as if he's referencing Richard Farina and Mimi Baez.

this song means...nothing, at least nothing profound...i relate to it, i think it's just about keeping ur foot in the door, waiting for a girl to come around...she doesn't, but u still keep ur foot in the door
I love that sort of metallic sound he gets with the harmonica at the end of the song.
It's that thin, wild mercury sound
Another great song. The hobo takes his best, it is him, he cannot avoid it! Pledges to her lady to come along with him and embark! He willll take her with him. Passions, aventures, living on the tight rope. Unavoidable, truesome. She'll know!
it think this one is about drugs as a form of escapism.
1st verse is a hangover.
2nd verse is a dealer.
3rd verse is the character introducing someone to whatever drug.
4th verse is the of them at the end of a night of heavy smoking.
the last verse is heroin overdose.
the whole time the character is 'pledging his time' to escapism through drugs.

I think this song is about drugs too, it makes alot more sense if it is though it could just as likely be a stream of consciousness recording
Sounds to me like it's about the harms of alcohol - 'poison headache' (hangover), 'everybody's gone but me and you' (all-night drinking), hobos are associated with alcoholism - maybe pissed his money away on booze. Sounds to me like the speaker escaped addiction and now he's trying to help a friend out of it
