Lyrics

Matchbox - Jam

[Verse 1: John Lennon]

Well I'm sittin' here wonderin', matchbox holdin' my clothes

Well I'm sittin' here wonderin', matchbox holdin' my clothes

Ain't got a lot of matches, but I sure got a long way to go

[Verse 2: John Lennon]

Ol' poor boy, rollin' up my nose

Well, I'm an ol' poor boy, rollin' up my nose

I ain't got a lot of people, but I got a [?], gotta go home

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: John Lennon]

Well, I'm an ol' poor boy and I'm a long way from home

Well, I'm an ol' poor boy and I'm a long way from home

[?]

[Guitar Solo]
