Match Box Blues - Montreux / Live

Now, this tune should be easy for you to deal with

All you gotta do is remember back home

You know what I mean

When you was sitting out behind the house

Or practicing on your own guit feble

Tryin' to get things together

And you couldn't make up your mind

Kinda halfway knew what you wanted to do

But you didn't have it all together

But you did know you wanted to travel

(That's right)

Yeah, I remember those days real good

(I know)

Didn't have really many clothes

Didn't know nobody to call to sing for you

So you had to get out there in no time, you know

(So)

You don't make no tiffanies, you say

"I'm goin' and I know I got a great time

But I'm goin' anyway"

Whatever happens

(What happens?)

I gotta pay my dues somewhere

Listen

Dreamed that I was lucky

But I woke up cold in hand

Hey, I dreamed that I was lucky, darling

But I woke up cold in hand

I dreamed I had you all by myself

But now I know you found you another man

Oh, that's why I wonderin'

Will a matchbox hold my clothes?

Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling

Will a matchbox hold my clothes?

You know I haven't got so many

But I got so far to go

If you gotta good woman

You better pin'er up to your side

If you gotta good lady, fellow

You better pin'er up to your side

Because if she flag my train, buddy

I'm beyond the

(Live and well)

Oh, that's why I wonder

Will a matchbox hold my clothes?

Hey, sometimes I wonder, darling

Will a matchbox hold my clothes?

You know I haven't got so many

But I got so far to go, yeah

I see you might do something with it

(I hope so)

Yeah, take it

You know, fix it like it, you know
