Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder
Why'd I ever leave home
Sometimes I wonder
Why'd I ever leave home
I had a few dollars in my pocket
Oh, now that little change is gone
I didn't think a city
Boy, could be so dark on me
I didn't think a city
Boy, could be so dark on me
Oh, but this is the meanest place
Lord, I've ever seen
I used to have a job
Doing spot labor every day
I used to have a job
Doing spot labor every day
But when I got to work this morning
Lord, they packed up and moved away
I called my boss
I wanna know can I come back home
Yes, I called my boss
I wanna know can I come back home
He said, "No, you know I'm sorry, son
Boy, you're in long trouble"
Mmm-hmm
What in the world am I gonna do?
Mmm-hmm
What in the world am I gonna do?
I guess it's just all wrapped up in a nutshell now
Oh, it look like old poor son is through
