Was I Right Or Wrong

Lynyrd Skynyrd · First And Last [1978]

Like a resstless leaf,

in the autumn breeze, once i was a tumbleweed,

like a rolling stone crawling all alone,

living for the day my dream would come,

I never cared for school, or any golden rule,

papa used to all ways say I was a useless fool,

so I left my home to show him he was wrong,

and headed out on the road singing my song,

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

and everything I dreamed of it was real,

money, girls and cars, and big long cigars

and i caught the first plane home so papa could see,

When I went home to show him they was wrong,

All that i found was two tombstones,

somebodytell me please was i right or wrong,

(such a sad story)

first i got lost then i got found,

but the ones that i love were in the ground,

papa i only wish you could see me now,

(Take a listen papa)

*Instrumental*

(play one for mama now)

*Instrumental*



(female backups)

First I got lost, then I got found,

The ones that I loved were in the ground,

Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong?



If there is any way, you can hear what i say,

papa I never ment to do you wrong,

All the money, girls, and cars, and all the world's big long cigars,

papa I just want you to know they couldn't take your place,

when I went home to show them they was wrong,

all that i found was a two tombstones,

sombody tell me please was i right or wrong,

(such a sad song)

first I got lost,

then I got found,

the ones that i loved were in the ground,

somebody tell me please was i right or wrong,
