I've got dirt on my shirt, I've got blues in my shoes
I've got nowhere to go, I've got nothing to lose
I got my ears pierced, I got my ears pierced
Oh, I took the train, the train took me away
And it went so fast I forgot to pray
I got my ears pierced
And there ain't no going back
There ain't no going back no more
I looked in the mirror, but I looked the same
So I cut my hair and I changed my name
I got my ears pierced
I called my mother from a far-away phone
She said my love, from now on you walk alone
You went and got your ears pierced
And there ain't no going back no more
I've got dirt on my shirt, I've got blues in my shoes
I've got nowhere to go, I've got nothing to lose
I got my ears pierced, I got my ears pierced
