01 Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 2]
Now, your buddies get their rocks off onTop 40 radio
But you love your daddy's vinyl, old-timerock and roll
Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard, andthink Jeff Tweedy is one bad mother
Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood
[Chorus]
One day you'll lead the charge, you'll leadthe band
Guitar Hero with lightning hands
And the girls will like your tattoos andthe veins in your arms
They'll be helpless to your musical charms
And they'll all hold up their hands
And they'll all wanna dance
With Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 3]
First time I met Alabama Hannah, I wasskinny as a rail
Red hair tied up in a blue bandana; she washotter than the devil's Hell
She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers,Jackson Pollock, and gin
Her daddy didn't trust my intentions, so heturned to his daddy's old .410
I'm Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood
[Chorus]
Had an axe to grind, so off I went
Mad at the sun for coming up again
I lost religion, found my soul in the blues
Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes
Yeah, everybody held up their hands
And every soul on Beale Street danced
With Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 4]
So I went with it like a colt on myPlymouth
Through the glass behind my rear-view
Took a left when the world went right down16th Avenue
Played with fire and I played on ledges
Every circus, stage, and county fair
I tried to file my points, sand my edges,and I just grew out my hair
I'm Mr. Misunderstood, I'm Mr.Misunderstood
[Chorus]
They're standing in line, chasing the buzz
Til the next big things and already was
And hell if they know what they're tryingto find
If it ain't that same old, been-done kind
Yeah, gives the head-scratchers fits
Wondering how in the hell they missed
Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood
[Verse 5]
Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes
Sitting in the back of the class; I wasjust like you
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
I'm Mr. Misunderstood (let's go out ofhere)
