Match Box Blues lyrics
Now, this tune should be easy for you to deal with
All you gotta do is remember back home
You know what I mean
When you was sitting out behind the house
Or practicing on your own guit feble
Tryin' to get things together
And you couldn't make up your mind
Kinda halfway knew what you wanted to do
But you didn't have it all together
But you did know you wanted to travel
(That's right)
Yeah, I remember those days real good
(I know)
Didn't have really many clothes
Didn't know nobody to call to sing for you
So you had to get out there in no time, you know
(So)
You don't make no tiffanies, you say
"I'm goin' and I know I got a great time
But I'm goin' anyway"
Whatever happens
(What happens?)
I gotta pay my dues somewhere
Listen
Dreamed that I was lucky
But I woke up cold in hand
Hey, I dreamed that I was lucky, darling
I dreamed I had you all by myself
But now I know you found you another man
Oh, that's why I wonderin'
Will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling
Will a matchbox hold my clothes?
You know I haven't got so many
But I got so far to go
If you gotta good woman
You better pin'er up to your side
If you gotta good lady, fellow
You better pin'er up to your side
Because if she flag my train, buddy
I'm beyond the
(Live and well [unverified])
Oh, that's why I wonder
Will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling
Will a matchbox hold my clothes?
You know I haven't got so many
But I got so far to go, yeah
I see you might do something with it
(I hope so)
Yeah, take it
You know, fix it like it, you know
