Self Centered Blues - Natural Child

Daddy came down with a broken back

I don’t believe he’s gonna make it back

Momma went looking for something to do

And I’m left here with self-centered blues

They don’t seem to go away

Should’ve saved my money when I was young

But I just kept looking for a bit of fun

Then the days went by and the years just flew

And I’m all caught in self-centered blues

They don’t seem to go away

I sure made a lot of friends

And I watched a lot of good things come to an end

Without no water those seeds never grew

And I’m left here with self-centered blues

I had a friend, he lost track

He turned a corner and he didn’t look back

Didn’t check the signs, didn’t see the road

Now the self-centered blues is all he knows

They don’t seem to go away

Working hard makes me depressed

And I carry round thoughts that I don’t address

Now the rain’s coming in

Through the holes in my shoes

And I’m all caught up in self-centered blues

They don’t seem to go away
