They call me a country preacher
Jimmy Reed, is my name
Sometime they think I'm the Boss Man
It all mean the same
I'm just a poor country boy
Lookin' for a home to call my own
Sometime the load get so heavy
Just like a dog ain't got no bone
A barman with no sticks
A junkie with no fix
A rat ain't got no hole
A poor man lost his soul
I'm just a poor country boy
Tryin' to find myself a home
Well now, I may look like I'm happy
Ev'rything I do is wrong
