Firecracker Blues

I was a firecracker
When I was younger... uh huh
I blew up on cue
I lost a friend or two
It's been so long
Since I've been back home

It's been so long
Since I've been back home
Don't get me wrong
I've been alive since the day I was born
It doesn't mean nothing
Can get me out of this place

I met this guy called Joe
Yeah he was trouble fo-sho!
High on self-esteem and personality
It's been so long
Since I've been back home
