8 am Blues
Natural Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

8 AM being such a dick I said what are you doin'
Head is split and I feel sick but I gotta keep movin'
So hung up on some kind of shit that I can't understand
Like to tell you to suck my dick but I gotta be a man

I ain't goin' there with you
Don't you know that's the last thing I wanna do
My old man said he got drunk and his car it ain't started
He's always puttin' up with some shit and it sounds retarded
I couldn't wake up in the same place every single mornin'
Sittin' there with the same look on my face it just sounded so borin'

I ain't stayin' here with you
Don't you know I got some shit I wanna do
I ain't goin' there with you
Don't you know I got some shit I wanna do
I think I'll move along
I think I'll move along
I think I'll move along
I think I'll move along
Like a rollin' stone
Like a rollin' stone




Like a rollin' stone
Like a rollin'
