Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze

Once I was a tumblin' ****

Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone

Living for the day my train would come

Never cared for school or any golden rules

And papa used to always say I was a useless fool

So I left my home to show them they 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

Ooh, I learnt how to play my guitar

Gonna be a superstar

Give up for mama now

First I got lost, then I got found

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?
