Matchbox
(Carl Lee Perkins)

I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
A matchbox hole in my closes
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
A matchbox hole in my closes
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go

I'm a lone poor boy
And I'm a long way from home
I'm a lone poor boy
And I'm a long way from home
I've never been happy
 'cause everything I ever did was wrong

Ooh if you don't want my peaches honey
Please don't shake my tree
If you don't wanna pick those peaches honey
Please don't mess around my tree
I've got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery
All right!

Well I'll be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
When your big dog gets here
Watch how your happy dog will be gone

Well, I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
A matchbox hole in my closes
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
A matchbox hole in my closes
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go
