You bought your six-string Gibson
You bought your great big house
You try to sing like Muddy Waters
And play like Lightnin' sounds
But now that we bought our harp
You're feelin' mean and confused
We got you chained to your earphones
You're just a white boy lost in the blues

You got your '44 Desoto
You got a great big horn that toots
You got your twenty-four karat buttons
On your everyday suit
But now that we bent our strings
You're feelin' mean and confused
We got you chained to your earphones
You're just a white boy lost in the blues

Got your great big house on the hillside
You got your great big field of corn
You got you a loving woman
And the blues in your soul
And now that we started cooking
You're feelin' mean and confused
We got you chained to your earphones
You're just a white boy lost in the blues
We got you chained to your earphones
You're just a white boy lost in the blues
We got you chained to your earphones
You're just a white boy lost in the blues
