Was I Right or Wrong

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 comeNever cared for school or any golden rules

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 songsThen 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 seeWhen 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 songAt 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, I learned how to play my guitar, superstar

Play one for momma nowIf 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 placeWhen 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

At 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?
