I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go
I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home.
I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home.
I'll never be happy cause everything I've
Ever did was wrong
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey,
Please don't shake my tree.
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey,
Please don't shake my tree.
I got news for you baby, leave me here in
Misery
Well, let me be your little dog, till your
Big dog comes.
Well, let me be your little dog, till your
Big dog comes.
And when your big dog gets here, watch how
Your puppy dog runs
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure
