Motherless Child

[Verse 1]

Every last blind pulled when I walk down the street

The only sound I hear is my tired heartbeat

Well sometimes I feel just like a motherless child, yeah

Motherless child, yeah

[Verse 2]

This place once had a name. The people once had faces

In every town I find it’s the same sad situation

Sometimes I feel just like a countryless man,  yeah

Countryless man, yeah

[Chorus]

My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways

[Verse 3]

I once saw figures about a mile off

So I waited in the woods until they were gone

Sometimes I feel just like a wandering dog, yeah

Wandering dog, yeah

[Chorus]

My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways
