White Boy Blues Lyrics

Snakecharmer White Boy Blues

You said you'd tell me
When the time was right for leaving
Always told me
That I'd be the first to know
I played for keeps
But I was only self deceiving
Why lift me up
When you had planned to lay me low?
Yeah if you planned to let me go

Well I'm just a man
Got me some wit but not much wisdom
I roll the dice
But that's just pride before a fall
My door is open
If you call you're always welcome
Just don't forget to read the writing on the wall

Some may rise
Some may fall
I'll take my chances
Play the cards where they may fall
Some you win
Some you lose
But I'll keep believing
While I sing the white boy blues

Got me a plan
I'm gonna head for the horizon
Won't turn around
Till I'm not sure of what I'll find
Make no mistake
For all your love I'm truly grateful
But there comes a time
And now this fox has gone to ground

Don't you imagine
If you call you're gonna find me
Don't you believe
That I believe a word you say
All of the time
That I have wasted is behind me
Now I'm looking forward
To a new and brighter day
