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, ever since I was a little kid I've been dependent on these sheer 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 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) No use but to sing the blues and make the end sound good La, la, la, la I've been walking alone ever, ever since I was a little kid I've been dependent on these sheer streets 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
