"Matchbox" lyrics

Matchbox

Well I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
Yeah I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
I ain't got no matches
But I got a long way to go

I'm an old poor boy
And a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy
And a long way from home
Guess I'll never be happy
Everything I do is wrong, yeah

Well let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
When the big dog gets here
Show him what this little puppy done

Yeah I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
Yeah I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
I got no matches
Got a long way to go
Let her go boy, go-go

Well I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
Baby, I'm sitting here wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes
I ain't got no matches
I got a long way to go
