Lyrics
Where’d My Mojo Go (James Ferris, 2018)
Chorus:
Where’d my mojo go, I think that it been stole
Someone picked my pocket, stole my cool
Left my ego high and dry, hard to watch a grown man cry
This big ‘ol boy is bawlin’ like a fool
Verse 1:
I’m just an everyday ordinary guy
Livin in the big bad world tryin to make a good life
Suddenly, I’m wearin’ a frown,
my whole world turnin’ upside down
I lost my dog, my truck and now my wife, yeah
Chorus:
Where’d my mojo go, I think that it’s been stole
Someone picked my pocket, stole my cool
Left my ego high and dry; hard to watch a grown man cry
This big ‘ol boy is bawlin’ like a fool, hit me man
Musical verse with fiddle
Verse 2:
Now, getting back on my feet weren’t all that hard
I just had to miss a payment on the car
And now I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been
Walkin’ tall and lean and thin
When you got no food to eat, it ain’t that hard, yeah
Chorus:
Where’d my mojo go, I think that it’s been stole
Someone picked my pocket, stole my cool
Left my ego high and dry, It’s hard to watch a grown man cry
This big ‘ol boy is bawlin’ like a fool, come on now
Musical verse with fiddle
Verse 3:
So I try to keep a positive attitude
But everywhere I turn I seem to lose
I need to get me back on track
If you see it somewhere call me back
I need to find my mojo really soon, come on
CHORUS (X 2 and repeat last line 3 times)
