You bought you a six string Gibson,
You bought you a great big house,
You try to sing like Muddy Waters
And play like Lightnin' sounds.
But now that we blowed a harp1
You feelin' mean and confused.
We got you chained to your earphones,
You're just a white boy lost in the blues.
You got you a '44 Desoto,
You got you a great big horn that toots,
You got some 24 karat buttons on your everyday suit,
(Lookin' good, baby)
But now that we bent our strings
You're feelin' mean and confused.
So we got you chained to your earphones,
You're just a white boy, lost in the blues.
You got you a great big house on the hillside,
Got you great big field of corn,
You got you a lovin' woman
And the bluuuues in your soul.
But now that we started cookin'
You're feelin' mean and confused.
I said we got you chained to your earphones,
You're just a white boy lost in the blues.
I said we got you chained to your earphones,
You're just a white boy lost in the blues.
I said we got you chained to your earphones,
You're just a white boy lost in the blues.
