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 come
Never 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 songs
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 just 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
Papa, I only wish you could see me now
Take a listen papa, ooh, I learned how to play my guitar
Gonna be a superstar
Play one for mama now
First I got lost, then I got found
Ones that I loved are in the ground
Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong
If 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 place
When I went home to show 'em they was wrong
All that I found was just two tombstones
Somebody tell me please, was I right or wrong?
Lord, it's such a sad song
At first (first) I got lost (lost), then I got found (found)
But the ones that I loved were in the ground (in the ground)
Somebody tell me, please, was I right or wrong?
