| Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze
|
| Once I was a tumblin' weed
|
| Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone
|
| Living for the day my train would come
|
| I never cared for school or any golden rules
|
| Papa used to always say I was a useless fool
|
| So I left my home to show them thay was wrong
|
| And headed out on the road singing my song
|
| Then one sunny day. |
| The man, he looked my way
|
| And everything that I dreamed of, it was real
|
| Money, girls and cars; |
| and big long cigars
|
| And I caught the first plane home so papa would see
|
| When I went home to show 'em they was wrong
|
| All that I found was two tombstones
|
| Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong
|
| Oh, such a sad song
|
| First I got lost, then I got found
|
| But the ones that I love are in the ground
|
| Papa I only wish you could see me now
|
| Take a listen papa
|
| Whoo, I learnt how to play my guitar
|
| Gonna be a superstar
|
| First I got lost, then I got found
|
| The ones I love are in the ground
|
| Won’t you tell me please was I right or wrong
|
| If there’s any way you can hear what I say |
| Papa, I never meant to do you wrong
|
| All the money, girls and cars. |
| And all the world’s long cigars
|
| Papa, I just want you to know they couldn’t take your place
|
| When I went home to show 'em they was wrong
|
| All that I found was two tombstones
|
| Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong
|
| Oh, such a sad song
|
| First I got lost, then I got found
|
| But the ones that I love are in the ground
|
| Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong |
