dislocated  boy  -  joe  bonamassa

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  cauterized  my  addictions

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  knee

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  kin

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.

i'm  alone,  severely  broken,

i'm  a  dislocated  boy.

i'm  alone,  severely  broken,

i'm  a  dislocated  boy.

i'm  alone,  severely  broken,

i'm  a  dislocated  boy.

i'm  alone,  severely  broken,

i'm  a  dislocated  boy.

i'm  alone,  severely  broken,

i'm  a  dislocated  boy.
