I Stubbed My Toe on a Rock Lyrics

I stubbed my toe on a rock

It started bleeding down in my sock

So I went back home with the stubbed-toed blues

My mom said you better take off them shoes

Cause you're getting that blood all over that leather

And you ain't gonna get any shoes that are better

Getting ready for school, everything's in a rush

Brush my teeth and run for the bus

Went back for my lunch and come outside

And I see the bus loading kids inside

I'm running and yelling at the driver to wait

But I get tripped up as the bus pulls away

And

I stubbed my toe on a rock

It started bleeding down in my sock

So I went back home with the stubbed-toed blues

My mom said you better take off them shoes

Cause you're getting that blood all over that leather

And you ain't gonna get any shoes that are better

Nope

So there I am in a whole lot of pain

Soaked to the skin because of the rain

I get to my class and it's after eight

I'm sent to the office because I'm late

The principal frowns in a menacing way

So I tell him about my troubles, and the bus, and my day

And one thing lead to another and then

There I am late for class again

And I said

I stubbed my toe on a rock

It started bleeding down in my sock

So I went back home with the stubbed-toed blues

And my mom said you better take off them shoes

Cause you're getting that blood all over that leather

And you ain't gonna get any shoes that are better

Get detention down in the boiler room dome

And then no late bus; I have to walk back home

I come in the kitchen, don't see anyone

But the dishes are cleared and dinner's done

I'm storming out, and of course I'm mad

But going to my room, I'm stopped by my dad

He asks why I'm feeling this way

So I tell him all about my unhappy day

About lunch, the bus and where detention was

And then I tell my dad it was all because

I stubbed my toe on a rock

It started bleeding down in my sock

So I went back home with the stubbed-toed blues

My mom said you better take off them shoes

Cause you're getting that blood all over that leather

And you ain't gonna get any shoes that are better

I had leftover hotdogs and cold French fries

Then early to bed for lots of sleep that night

I set my alarm to give me lots of time

To be ready for the bus when it finally arrived

But in my haste to meet the new day

The alarm clock wasn't wound up all the way

And I woke to the sound of the bus's brakes

Then I ran outside to watch it drive away

The next stop I knew was just down the street

But as I took off running, something struck me feet

And, you know

I stubbed my toe on a rock

It started bleeding down in my sock

So I went back home with the stubbed-toed blues

And my mom said you better take off them shoes

Cause you're getting that blood all over that leather

And you ain't gonna get any shoes that are better

Oh no
