Wrecking Ball Lyrics - Soul Journey - Gillian Welch

Look out boys, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone 

That's what I was when I first left home 

I took every secret that I'd ever known 

And headed for the wall 

Like a wrecking ball 

Started down on the road to sin 

Playin' bass under a pseudonym 

The days were rough, and it's all quite dim 

But my mind cuts through it all 

Like a wrecking ball 

Oh, just a little deadhead 

Who is watching, who is watching 

I's just a little deadhead

Lady Antebellum Reveal The Lyrics To 'This City' 

I won a dollar on a scholarship 

Well, I got tired and let my average slip 

Then I's a farmer in the pogonip 

Of a weed that I recall 

Was like a wrecking ball 

Met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin 

She showed me colors I'd never seen 

Drank the bottom out of my canteen 

Then left me in the fall 

Like a wrecking ball 

Standin' there, in the morning mist 

A Jack & Coke at the end my wrist 

I remember when first we kissed 

'Though it was nothing at all 

Like a wrecking ball 

Hey boys, a little deadhead 

Who's watching, who's watching 

I's just a little deadhead

With too much trouble for me to shake 

Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache 

Was ridin' high until the '89 quake 

Hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall 

Like a wrecking ball
