|
You bought you a six string Gibson
|
You bought you a great big house
|
You try to sing like Muddy Waters
|
And play like Lightnin' sounds
|
|
But since I blowed my harp
|
You feelin' mean and confused.
|
It got you chained to your earphones,
|
You just a white boy, lost in the blues.
|
|
You got your 44 Desoto
|
Great big horns that toots,
|
44 bad buttons on your every-day suit,
|
But since I bent mah strings
|
You been feelin' mean and confused
|
It got you chained to your earphones,
|
You just a white boy, lost in the blues.
|
|
I got my home on the hillside
|
Never feel the cold
|
Got my loving woman
|
And the bluuuues in my soul
|
Since I heard you cooking
|
I been really mean and confused
|
It got me chained to my headphones
|
White boy, lost in the blues...
|
|
It's got you chained to your earphones
|
Yer jes' a white boy. lost int he blues...
|
|
It's got me chained to my earphones
|
A white boy, lost in the blues...
|
|
It's got you chained to your earphones,
|
A white boy, lost in the blues!
