[Verse]
He's a Ablack haired boy of Gsome confusion
and he Dmakes no excuse for the Athings that he's usin'
He's Agentle and wild and a Gchild of the mountain
his Dwords are for singing and his E7days are for countin'
[Chorus]
And he's Alooking for a Dhome Ahe's scared to Efind
Some Alady beside him and he's Ddrunk on white Ewine
Some Alady beside Dhim and he's Adrunk on white Ewine
He's a Adevil in the morning and a Gsavior at night
DTomorrow's a case of Awhatever's right
ALonesome and high are the Gthings that he feels
And the Dcards that he plays are the E7ones that he deals
[Chorus]
And he's Alooking for a Dhome Ahe's scared to Efind
Some Alady beside him and he's Ddrunk on white Ewine
Some Alady beside Dhim and he's Adrunk on white Ewine
He's Aone of the chances you're Gentitled to take
He's Done of the hearts that it's Atoo late to break
I've Aseen him be sad and Gnever know why
Seen Dhim fall down to laugh, E7seen him stand up to cry
[Chorus]
And he's Alooking for a Dhome Ahe's scared to Efind
Some Alady beside him and he's Ddrunk on white Ewine
Some Alady beside Dhim and he's Adrunk on white Ewine
[Chorus]
And he's Alooking for a Dhome Ahe's scared to Efind
Some Alady beside him and he's Ddrunk on white Ewine
Some Alady beside Dhim and he's Adrunk on white Ewine
