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,
