[Verse 1]
Every last blind pulled when I walk down the street
The only sound I hear is my tired heartbeat
Well sometimes I feel just like a motherless child, yeah
Motherless child, yeah

[Verse 2]
This place once had a name. The people once had faces
In every town I find it’s the same sad situation
Sometimes I feel just like a countryless man, yeah
Countryless man, yeah

[Chorus]
My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise
The county correct me from my wild ways

[Verse 3]
I once saw figures about a mile off
So I waited in the woods until they were gone
Sometimes I feel just like a wandering dog, yeah
Wandering dog, yeah

[Chorus]
My father tried to break me, my mother she tried to raise
The county correct me from my wild ways
