Mr. Misunderstood Lyrics - Eric Church

1 Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes

2 Sitting in the back of the class; I was just like you

3 Always left out, never fit in

4 Owning that path you're walking in

5 Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

6 Now, your buddies get their rocks off on Top 40 radio

7 But you love your daddy's vinyl, old-time rock and roll

8 Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and think Jeff Tweedy is one bad mother

9 Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

10 One day you'll lead the charge, you'll lead the band

11 Guitar Hero with lightning hands

12 And the girls will like your tattoos and the veins in your arms

13 They'll be helpless to your musical charms

14 And they'll all hold up their hands

15 And they'll all wanna dance

16 With Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

17 First time I met Alabama Hannah, I was skinny as a rail

18 Red hair tied up in a blue bandana; she was hotter than the Devil's Hell

19 She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers, Jackson Pollock, and gin

20 Her daddy didn't trust my intentions, so he turned to his daddy's old .410

21 I'm Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

22 Had an axe to grind, so off I went

23 Mad at the sun for coming up again

24 I lost religion, found my soul in the blues

25 Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes

26 Yeah, everybody held up their hands

27 And every soul on Beale Street danced

28 With Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

29 So I went with it like a colt on my Plymouth

30 Through the glass behind my rear-view

31 Took a left when the world went right down 16th Avenue

32 Played with fire and I played on ledges

33 Every circus, stage, and county fair

34 I tried to file my points, sand my edges, and I just grew out my hair

35 I'm Mr. Misunderstood, I'm Mr. Misunderstood

36 They're standing in line, chasing the buzz

37 'Til the next big things and already was

38 And hell if they know what they're trying to find

39 If it ain't that same old, been-done kind

40 Yeah, gives the head-scratchers fits

41 Wondering how in the hell they missed

42 Mr. Misunderstood, Mr. Misunderstood

43 Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes

44 Sitting in the back of the class; I was just like you

45 Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)

46 Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)

47 Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)

48 Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)

49 Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)

50 I'm Mr. Misunderstood (let's go out of here)

51 Na na na na-na, na na na na-na

52 Na na na na-na na (I understand)

53 Na na na na-na, na na na na-na

54 Na na na na-na na (I understand)

55 Na na na na-na, na na na na-na

56 Na na na na-na na (I understand)

57 Na na na na-na, na na na na-na

58 Na na na na-na na (I understand)
