I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go.

I'm an ol' poor boy,
And I'm a long way from home.
I'm an ol' poor boy,
And I'm a long way from home.
I'll never be happy
Cause everything I've ever did was wrong.

Well, if you don't want my peaches honey,
Please don't shake my tree.
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey,
Please don't shake my tree.
I got news for you baby,
Leave me here in misery.

Well, let me be your little dog,
Till your big dog comes.
Well, let me be your little dog,
Till your big dog comes.
And when your big dog gets here,
Watch how your puppy dog runs.

I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go
