| Lyrics: | Like a restless leaf in the Autumn breeze,
Once, I was a tumbleweed.
Like a rolling stone,
cold and all alone,
Livin' for the day my dream would come.
I never cared for school or
any golden rule.
Papa used to always say I was a useless fool.
So I left my home to show
'em they was wrong
And headed out on the road singin' my songs.
Then one sunny day, the
man, he looked my way
And everything that I dreamed of, it was real.
Money, girls, and
cars; 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?
Lord, it's such a sad song.
First I got lost - then I got
found -
But the ones that I loved were in the ground.
Papa, I only wish you could see me
now.
Take a listen Papa:
If there's any way that 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?
Lord, it's such a sad song.
First I got lost - then I got
found -
But the ones that I loved were in the ground.
Somebody tell me, please, was I
right or wrong? |
