Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, look out boys, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone That's the way it's been since I first left home Took every secret I've ever known And headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball [Verse 2] Started down this road to sin Playing bass under a pseudonym The days were rough, it was all quite dim But my mind cuts through it all Like a wrecking ball [Chorus] I was just a little Deadhead Who is watching, who is watching? I was just a little Deadhead [Verse 3] A darling daughter on a scholarship Well, I got tired and let my average slip Then I was a farmer in thе Pogonip Where the weed that I rеcall Was like a wrecking ball [Verse 4] I met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin She showed me colors that I'd never seen And drank the bottom out of my canteen Then left me in the fall Like a wrecking ball [Verse 5] Standing there in the morning mist A Jack and Coke at the end of my wrist Yes, I remember when first we kissed Though it was nothing at all Like a wrecking ball [Chorus] Hey boys, I was just a little Deadhead Who is watching, who is watching? I was just a little Deadhead [Verse 6] With too much trouble for me to shake Oh, the weather and that blinding ache Was riding high 'til the '89 quake Hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall Like a wrecking ball [Outro] I was just a little Deadhead Who is watching, who is watching? I was just a little Deadhead Who is watching, who is watching? Who is watching, who is watching?
