Dislocated boy

I've been gone a long time

Lost in the seven seas.

Sail on

don't you come back

Until you learn the birds and the bees.

Who will you find waiting for you

Blood in the wine.

Left to call my preacher

And my very lovely wife.

I said, hey now, knocked down

why'd you do it

Roll me like a hurricane.

All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine.

Who done it, what's up, you said

Sell me out why don't you boy

I'm alone, severely broken

I'm a dislocated boy.

I have thought to rise my dictions

And I've suffocated my pride.

Before you and I embarked on

One hell of a ride.

Boy, I've had these blues

Since I been six years old.

But tell me don't you worry

About my very heavy load.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight

Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass

And one hell of a scar.

Broke down and hungry, you said so.

Sell me out, why don't you boy

I'm alone, severely broken

I'm a dislocated boy.

All I need is my old guitar

And I'll play you the best damn blues.

Heavy affections, and I hate to lose.

Thirty-five years ago

I was born on Robert Johnson's.

It's all been for you baby.

I'm gonna make it back someday.

I said, hey now, knocked down

why'd you do it

Roll me like a hurricane.

All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine.

Who done it, what's up, you said

Sell me out why don't you boy

I'm alone, severely broken

I'm a dislocated boy.

So tell me about your

working class hero, baby

Tell me 'bout your

Mine was born in Mississippi, 'round 1923.

Blue collar flannel shirts

Was my Father's way.

Worked in a factory

'Til his dying day.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight

Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass

And one hell of a scar.

Broke down and hungry, you said so.

Sell me out, why don't you boy

I'm alone, severely broken

I'm a dislocated boy.

I'm alone, severely broken

I'm a dislocated boy.
