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

Squeeze 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
