Work bent my back all wrong and left my fingers frozen
Hard tides have hit my coast; I'm walking in a battle haze
All might just fall apart, we're trapped in a ship sinking
No use but to sing the blues and make the end sound good
La, la, la, la
I've been walking alone ever since I was a little kid
I've been dependent on these two feet now
From before I could even think
I've been walking on home, now
From all the shadows that I could find
Ever since I was a little kid
Ever since I was a little kid
Can't get no sleep these days, I'm sure I left the candles burning
(Burning down the house, now)
Rain pouring through the roof did I remember to bolt the door
(Strangers coming to get ya)
I'm bathing in a cold sweat, I got to shape up this living
(Don't know which end to begin now)
All I do is sing the blues and make the end sound good
La, la, la, la
I've been walking alone ever since I was a little kid
I've been dependent on these two feet now
From before I could even think
I've been walking on home, now
From all the shadows of this old town
Ever since I was a little kid
Ever since I was a little kid
La, la, la, la
And now all of this town is my home
Nobody ever showed me the way home
And now all of this town is my home
