Lyrics for Matchbox

I said I'm sitting here watching Matchbox holdin' my clothes I said I'm sitting here wondering Matchbox holdin' my clothes I ain't got no matches But I sure got a long way to go I'm an old poor boy And I'm a long way from home I'm an old poor boy And I'm a long way from home I've never been happy 'Cause everything I ever did was wrong Well, if you don't want my peaches, honey Please don't shake my tree If you don't want any of 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, let me be your little dog 'Til your big dog comes Let me be your little dog 'Til your big dog comes And when your big dog gets here Watch how your puppy dog runs Well, I said I'm sitting here watching Matchbox holdin' my clothes I said I'm sitting here watching Matchbox holdin' my clothes I ain't got no matches But I sure got a long way to go
