Local Boy Chops Wood - Donovan

He got weights on his shoulders

He got chains 'round his neck

'Fore he get very much older

He be a nervous wreck

Local boy chops wood, headlines read

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong

Local boy makes good, wasn’t too strong

He got plenty hangers on

Who keep him happy and high

But deep down inside him

You can hear him cry

Local boy chops wood, headlines read

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong

Local boy chops good, wasn’t too strong

One riff of his guitar

He gonna change the whole scene

He’s a rebel-romantic

With a death-wish dream

Local boy chops wood, headlines read

Local boy makes good, watch him bleed

Local boy chops wood, what went wrong

Local boy makes good, wasn’t too strong

He keep ice in his young veins

To cool the fires in his head

It’s more than double double brandy

To dry the tears he shed

Rock star found dead

Rock star found dead

Rock star found dead, what went wrong?

Rock star found dead, wasn’t too strong

Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah

Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah

Rock star found dead

Rock star found dead
