Just a bit of slim
,,
,,,
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
A7 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
