[00:00.00] "Mr. Misunderstood"
[00:15.69] Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes
[00:18.41] Sitting in the back of the class, I was just like you
[00:22.73] Always left out, never fit in
[00:26.14] Owning that path you're walking in
[00:30.11] Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[00:36.84] Now, your buddies get their rocks off on Top 40 radio
[00:40.98] But you love your daddy's vinyl, old-time rock and roll
[00:44.70] Elvis Costello, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and think Jeff Tweedy
[00:50.54] Is one bad mother
[00:52.45] Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[00:59.62] One day you'll lead the charge, you'll lead the band
[01:03.69] Guitar Hero with lightning hands
[01:07.27] And the girls will like your tattoos and the veins in your arms
[01:11.06] They'll be helpless to your musical charms
[01:14.83] And they'll all hold up their hands
[01:18.44] And they'll all wanna dance
[01:22.22] Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[01:30.06] First time I met Alabama Hannah, I was skinny as a rail
[01:37.63] Red hair tied up in a blue bandana
[01:40.79] She was hotter than the devil's Hell
[01:44.81] She turned me on to Back Porch Pickers, Jackson Pollock, and gin
[01:52.24] Her daddy didn't trust my intentions
[01:55.02] So he turned to his daddy's old four-ten
[01:59.89] I'm Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[02:07.18] Had an axe to grind, so off I went
[02:11.09] Mad at the sun for coming up again
[02:14.66] I lost religion, found my soul in the blues
[02:18.07] Rubbed the velvet off my blue suede shoes
[02:22.30] Yeah, everybody held up their hands
[02:25.76] And every soul on Beale Street danced
[02:29.37] With Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[02:37.11] So I went with it like a colt on my Plymouth
[02:40.18] Through the glass behind my rear-view
[02:44.05] Took a left when the world went right down 16th Avenue
[02:50.70] Played with fire and I played on ledges
[02:53.76] Every circus, stage, and county fair
[02:57.63] They tried to file my points
[02:59.29] Sand my edges, and I just grew out my hair
[03:04.55] I'm Mr. Misunderstood I'm Mr. Misunderstood
[03:11.53] They're standing in line, chasing the buzz
[03:14.95] Til the next big things and already was
[03:18.36] A hell if they know, what they're trying to find
[03:21.93] If it ain't that same old, been-done kind, yeah
[03:25.84] Gives the head-scratchers fits
[03:29.33] I wondered how in the hell they missed
[03:32.91] A Mr. Misunderstood Mr. Misunderstood
[03:41.27] Hey there, weird kid in your high-top shoes
[03:45.64] Sitting in the back of the class, I was just like you
[03:49.62] Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
[03:54.34] Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
[03:58.26] Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
[04:02.17] Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
[04:06.68] Mr. Misunderstood (I understand)
[04:10.71] I'm Mr. Misunderstood (let's go out of here)
[04:21.07] (I understand) (I understand)
[04:35.32] (I understand) (I understand)
