WHITE BOY LOST IN THE BLUES
By Robert Ross
Verse 1
WHEN THE BLUE OF THE NIGHT
MEETS THE GOLD OF THE DAY
AND I?VE HAD MY FUN
AND I GO ON MY WAY
NOTHING LEFT TO DO
WHEN YOU?RE A WHITE BOY LOST IN THE BLUES
Verse 2
I GOT A NICKEL ONE LOUSY DIME
WORN OUT OLD SHOES
ONE THING?S FOR SURE
I?VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
IT?S BEEN A LONG LONG TIME BETWEEN GIGS
FOR THIS WHITE BOY LOST IN THE BLUES
Bridge
I?M BLACK INSIDE
JUST MY SKIN IS LILLY WHITE
BUT WHEN I GET LOW DOWN
THE WORLD SAYS I AIN?T GOT THE RIGHT
Verse 3
I?M A RELIC IN MY OWN TIME
I?M LIKE A LEMON IN A GROVE OF LIME
TWO STRIKES AGAINST ME
CAUSE I?M A WHITE BOY LOST IN THE BLUES
