Track #1 off the 1979 album “Head Games”, this song by Foreigner is about a boy who just admits that he is not rich, and how he embraces being a dirty white boy.
[Verse 1]
Hey, baby, if you're feeling down
I know what's good for you all day
Are you worried what your friends see?
Will it ruin your reputation loving me?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a dirty white boy
Yeah, a dirty white boy
A dirty white boy
[Verse 2]
Don't drive no big black car
Don't like no Hollywood movie star
You want me to be true to you
You don't give a damn what I do to you
[Chorus]
I'm just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy
[Chorus]
Well, I'm just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
A dirty white boy
[Verse 3]
I've been in trouble since I don't know when
I'm in trouble now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again
I'm a loner, but I'm never alone
Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone
[Chorus]
Because I'm a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, yeah, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, I'm a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy
[Chorus]
I'm just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy
[Chorus]
I'm just a dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy, dirty white boy
Dirty white boy
[Outro]
Yeah!
