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

I never cared for school
Or any golden rule
and 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 signin 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
big long cigars
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see

Chorus:
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
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
Whoo, I learnt how to play my guitar
Gonna be a superstar

First I got lost, then I got found
The 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 words and all the cigars
Papa, I just want you to know they couldn't
take your place

Chorus:
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
