Was I Right Or Wrong Lyrics - Thyrty: 30th Anniversary Collection - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze, 

Once, I was a tumbleweed 

Like a rolling stone, cold and all alone, 

Livin' for the day my dream would come 

Never cared for school or any golden rules 

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, singin' my songs 

Then one sunny day, the man, he looked my way 

And everything that I dreamed of, it was real 

Money, girls, and cars and big long cigars 

And I caught the first plane home so Papa would see 

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? 

Lord, it's such a sad song 

At first I got lost, then I got found 

But the ones that I loved were in the ground 

Papa, I only wish you could see me now 

Take a listen Papa, I learned how to play my guitar, superstar 

Play one for momma now 

If there's any way that you can hear what I say 

Papa, I never meant to do you wrong 

All the money, girls, and cars, 

And all the world's long cigars, 

Papa, I just want you to know, 

They couldn't take your place 

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? 

Lord, it's such a sad song 

At first I got lost, then I got found 

But the ones that I loved were in the ground 

Somebody tell me, please, was I right or wrong?
