(Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant)

Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze

Once I was a tumblin' weed

Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone

Living for the day my train would come

I 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 them thay was wrong

And headed out on the road singing 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; 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

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



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
