White Boy Lost in the Blues

Michael Franks

(One, two, three, four)

You bought you a six string Gibson
You bought you a great big amp
You try to sing like Muddy Waters
And play like Lightnin' Sounds
But since I blowed my harp
You feelin' mean and confused
We got you chained to your earphone
You just a white boy lost in the blues

I'm goin' to play my harp now!
(Instrumental)

You got your '44 Desoto
Great big horn that toots
44 bad buttons on your every-day suit
But since I bent my strings
You been feelin' mean and confused
He's got you chained to your earphones
You just a white boy, lost in the blues

I'm gonna try to bend them for ya now
(Instrumental)

I got my home on the hillside
A field of corn
Got my loving woman
And the blues in my soul
Say I heard you cooking
I been really mean and confused
Well he's got me chained to my headphones
White boy, lost in the blues

Yeah, I can see you're lost in the blues
Go ahead and do your thing baby
(Instrumental)
Yes, yes
(Instrumental continues)

He's got you chained to your headphones
You're just a white boy, lost in the blues
Well he's got me chained to my headphones
A white boy, lost in the blues
He's got you chained to your headphones
You're just a white boy, lost in the blues
