Joe Bonamassa — 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
