Dm
Like a restless leave
G Dm
in the autumn breeze
G A Dm
once, i was a tumbleweed
Dm
Like a rollin stone
G Dm
cold and all alone
G A Dm
living for the day my train would come
Dm
I never cared for school
G Dm
Or any golden rule
G A Dm
and Papa used to always say I was a useless fool
Dm
So I left my home
G Dm
to show 'em they was wrong
G A Dm
and headed out on the road signin my song
Dm
Then one sunny day
G Dm
the man he looked my way
G A Dm
and everything that I dreamed of it was real
Dm
Money, girls and cars
G Dm
big long cigars
G A Dm
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see
----------------------------------------|
Dm |
When I went home to show em they was wrong |
G Dm |
all that i found was two tombstones |
G A Dm |
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong |
| CHORUS
Dm |
first i got lost then i got found, |
G Dm |
but the ones that i loved are in the ground |
G A Dm |
papa I only wish you could see me now |
----------------------------------------|
Dm
If there's any way
G Dm
that you could hear what I say
G A Dm
Papa, I never meant to do you wrong
Dm
all the money, girls and cars
G Dm
and all the world's long cigars
G A Dm
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place
CHORUS
