Motherless Child

Every last blind pulled when

I walk down the street

The only sound

I hear is my tired heartbeat

Well, sometimes

I feel just like a motherless child, yeah

Motherless child, yeah

This place once had a name, the people once had faces

In every town

I find it's the same sad situation

Sometimes

I feel just like a countryless man, yeah

Countryless man, yeah

My father tried to break me, my mother, she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways

My father tried to break me, my mother, she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways

I once saw figures about a mile off

So I waited in the woods until they were gone

Sometimes

I feel just like a wandering dog, yeah

Wandering dog, yeah

My father tried to break me, my mother, she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways

My father tried to break me, my mother, she tried to raise

The county correct me from my wild ways
