Like a resstless leaf
In the autumn breeze, once i was a tumbleweed
Like a rolling stone cold all alone
Living for the day my dream would come
Never cared for school, or any golden rules
Papa used to all ways say I was a useless fool
So I left my home to show him they was wrong
And headed out on the road singing my song
Then one sunny day, the man he looked my way
And everything I dreamed of it was real
Money, girls and cars, and big long cigars
And i caught the first plane home so papa could see...
When I went home to show him they was wrong
All that i found was two tombstones
Somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
Woa it's such a sad song
First i got lost then i got found
But the ones that i love were in the ground
Papa i only wish you could see me now
Take a listen papa....
Oooh I learned how to play my guitar
Gunna be a superstar
*Instrumental*
...play one for mama now
*Instrumental*
(female backups)
First I got lost, then I got found
The ones that I loved were in the ground
Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong?
If there is any way, you can hear what i say
Papa I never meant to do ya no wrong
All the money, girls, and cars, and all the world's big long cigars
Papa I just want you to know they couldn't take your place.....
When I went home to show them they was wrong
All that i found was a two tombstones
Sombody tell me please was i right or wrong
Lord it's such a sad song
First I got lost
Then I got found
The ones that i loved were in the ground
Somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
