Hattiesburg Hustle - Warren Haynes

Poor boy-hailed from Mississippi

Had dreams beyond just a family

Left home when he was just seventeen

Never even looked back till he was twenty three

By then he’d been through the ringer

Made himself a name as a singer

Read about in all of the papers

How the boy got lost in the vapors

Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell

Lot of things have changed since the old days

God bless the fool who gets in your way

Too much time living with your own disease

Too many lines blurring out the boundaries

Lost friends fallen by the wayside

Lost lovers take it all in stride

Eyes closed?

still it should be plain to see

You’re not the boy that you used to be

Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell

Do the Hattiesburg Hustle, shuffle 'em off to Hell

Take me back in time

Show me things as they were

Let my soul unwind

Take me to the place where things ain’t such a blur

Poor boy-hailed from Mississippi

Had dreams beyond just a family

Ego is a muscle-just add fame and watch it swell

Do the Hattiesburg Hustle, shuffle 'em off to Hell

Shuffle 'em off to Hell

Shuffle 'em off to Hell

Shuffle 'em off to Hell
