Lyrics

Dirty White Boy

[Verse 1]

Hey, baby, if you're feeling down

I know what's good for you all day

Are you worried what your friends see?

Will it ruin your reputation loving me?

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a dirty white boy

Yeah, a dirty white boy

A dirty white boy

[Verse 2]

Don't drive no big black car

Don't like no Hollywood movie star

You want me to be true to you

You don't give a damn what I do to you

[Chorus]

I'm just a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy

[Chorus]

Well, I'm just a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

A dirty white boy

[Verse 3]

I've been in trouble since I don't know when

I'm in trouble now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again

I'm a loner, but I'm never alone

Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone

[Chorus]

Because I'm a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, I'm a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy

[Chorus]

I'm just a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy

[Chorus]

I'm just a dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy, dirty white boy

Dirty white boy

[Outro]

Yeah!
