Warren Haynes - Hattiesburg Hustle lyrics

Poor boy-hailed from Mississippi Had dreams beyond just a family Left home when he was just seventeen Never even looked back till he was twenty three By then he'd been through the ringer Made himself a name as a singer Read about in all of the papers How the boy got lost in the vapors Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell Lot of things have changed since the old days God bless the fool who gets in your way Too much time living with your own disease Too many lines blurring out the boundaries Lost friends fallen by the wayside Lost lovers take it all in stride Eyes closed still it should be plain to see You're not the boy that you used to be Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell Do the Hattiesburg Hustle, shuffle 'em off to Hell Take me back in time Show me things as they were Let my soul unwind Take me to the place where things ain't such a blur Poor boy-hailed from Mississippi Had dreams beyond just a family Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell Do the Hattiesburg Hustle, shuffle 'em off to Hell Shuffle 'em off to Hell Shuffle 'em off to Hell Shuffle 'em off to Hell
