[00:24.18]I've been gone a long time
[00:26.88]Lost in the seven seas.
[00:31.86]Sail on, don't you come back
[00:33.30]Until you learn the birds and the bees.
[00:38.91]Who will you find waiting for you,
[00:39.90]Squeeze blood into [in the ?] wine.
[00:44.07]Left to call my preacher
[00:45.81]And my very lovely wife.
[00:47.67]Chorus (1)
[00:48.21]I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,
[00:52.47]Roll me like a hurricane.
[00:55.65]All is a bust and
[00:57.84]I'm numb, like novocaine.
[00:59.01]Who done it, what's up, you said,
[01:04.65]Sell me out why don't you boy,
[01:07.23]I'm alone, severely broken,
[01:10.89]I'm a dislocated boy.
[01:25.86]I have thought to rise my dictions
[01:28.05]And I've suffocated my pride.(Be)fore you and
[01:35.40]I embarked on
[01:35.70]One hell of a ride.
[01:36.39]Boy, I've had these blues
[01:40.47]Since I been six years old.
[01:44.82]But tell me don't you worry(A)bout my very heavy load.
[01:47.49]Chorus (2)
[01:51.03]And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,
[01:53.31]Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass,
[02:00.06]And one hell of a scar.
[02:02.55]Broke down and hungry, you said so.
[02:05.58]Sell me out, why don't you boy,
[02:08.04]I'm alone, severely broken,
[02:11.67]I'm a dislocated boy.
[02:25.83]All I need is my old guitar,
[02:28.89]And I'll play you the best damn blues.
[02:33.12]Heavy affections, and
[02:39.21]I hate to lose.
[02:39.48]Thirty-five years ago,
[02:41.07]I was born on
[02:42.03]Robert Johnson's.
[02:45.09]It's all been for you baby.
[02:47.55]I'm gonna make it back someday.
[03:38.19]Repeat Chorus (1)
[04:24.81]So tell me about your working class hero, baby
[04:32.49]Tell me 'bout your
[04:32.82]Mine was born in
[04:33.24]Mississippi, 'round 1923.
[04:37.83]Blue collar flannel shirts
[04:39.99]Was my Father's way.
[04:43.71]Worked in a factory,'
[04:46.14]Til his dying day.
[04:54.81]Repeat Chorus (2)
