Lyrics

[Chorus]
Well, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Ain't got no matches but I got a long way to go
[Verse 1]
I'm an old poor boy, long way from home
I'm an old poor boy, long way from home
Guess I'll never be happy, everything I do is wrong
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Well, let me be your little dog, till your big dog come
Let me be your little dog, till your big dog come
When the big dog gets here, show him what this little puppy done
[Chorus]
Well, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Yeah, sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
I ain't got no matches, I got a long way to go
Let her go, boy, go, go
[Outro]
Well, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
Ow, baby, I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes?
I ain't got no matches, got a long way to go
