Lyrics Self Centered Blues - Natural Child

Self Centered Blues

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
