[00:01.32] |
They had my future wrapped up in a parcel |
[00:07.47] |
And no one even thought of asking me |
[00:13.69] |
The day I turned fifteen I caught the mail train |
[00:19.34] |
To find out what else might be in life for me |
[00:25.66] |
Well I rode on trucks and trains |
[00:27.97] |
and lived on nothin' |
[00:32.17] |
Served me right for wanting to be free |
[00:38.25] |
Ah well that's the way society looked at it |
[00:44.57] |
But it didn't seem to be that way to me |
[00:50.69] |
And the biggest disappointment in the family |
[00:55.52] |
was me |
[00:57.19] |
The only twisted branch upon |
[00:59.93] |
our good old family tree |
[01:03.74] |
I just couldn't be the person |
[01:06.25] |
they expected me to be |
[01:09.79] |
And the biggest disappointment in the world |
[01:13.89] |
was me |
[01:18.44] |
A lot more dinner times than there were dinners |
[01:24.37] |
I learned a lot that hurt me at the time |
[01:30.34] |
Then this quiet country boy |
[01:32.55] |
went home a different man |
[01:36.18] |
With a memory of distance on my mind |
[01:42.15] |
But I always spoke too loud and drank too often |
[01:48.33] |
Maybe drank too many glasses down |
[01:54.53] |
And perhaps my clothes were older than I realised |
[02:01.42] |
A relief to all concerned when I left town |
[02:07.38] |
And the biggest disappointment in the family |
[02:12.35] |
was me |
[02:13.94] |
The only twisted branch upon |
[02:17.33] |
our good old family tree |
[02:20.57] |
I just couldn't be the person |
[02:23.34] |
they expected me to be |
[02:26.80] |
And the biggest disappointment in the world |
[02:31.56] |
was me |
[02:33.19] |
And the biggest disappointment in the family |
[02:38.02] |
was me |
[02:39.78] |
The only twisted branch upon |
[02:42.89] |
our good old family tree |
[02:45.75] |
I just couldn't be the person |
[02:48.44] |
they expected me to be |
[02:53.94] |
And the biggest disappointment in the world |
[03:00.71] |
was me |
[03:03.01] |
