They had my future wrapped up in a parcel and no one even thought of asking me. The day I turned fifteen I caght the mailtrain To find what else might be in life for me. I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing; Served me right for wanting to be free- Ah well that's the way society looked at it, But it didn't seem to be that way to me. Chorus And the biggest disappointment in the family was me; the only twisted branch upon our good old fam'y tree I just couldn't be the person they ecpected me to be And the biggest disappiontment in the world was me A lot more dinner times than there dinners I learned a lot that hurt me at the time Then this quiet country boy came home a different man with a memory of distance on my mind But i always spoke to loud and drank to often, Maybe drank to many glasses down And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized A relief to all concerned when I left town Chorus X 2 any problems Please E-mail me: [email protected]
