Momma never changed the sheets on the bed
And daddy he was out of a job
I used to walk the streets 'till the sun went down
And go back to the life of a dog
My woman don't understand me
And she thinks I'm just playin' a game
I always try to tell her what matters to me
You know she thinks I'm goin' insane
And I feel like a stray
I'll get used to it anyway
One of these days
I'll get out of the way
Well, my teacher was a man from Baltimore
I guess he must have scammed his degree
He used to put me down with the words that he said
I was livin' my life on a lead
And I feel like a stray
I'll get used to it anyway
One of these days
I'll get out of the way
Feel like a stray
I'll get used to it anyway
One of these days
I'll get out of the way
