Wrecking Ball

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Look out boys, I'm a rollin' stone That's what I was when I first left home Took every secret that I had ever known And I headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball [Verse 2] I 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 [Chorus] I was just a little Deadhead Who is watching, who is watching? I was just a little Deadhead [Verse 3] I won a dollar on scholarship Well, I got tired and let my average slip Then I was a farmer in the pogonip Where the weed that I recall Was like a wrecking ball [Verse 4] I met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin She showed me colors I'd never seen Drank the bottom out of my canteen And then left me with the fall Like a wrecking ball [Verse 5] Standin' 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, nothing at all Like a wrecking ball [Chorus] Hey boy, just a little Deadhead Who's watching, who's watching? I was just a little Deadhead [Verse 6] With too much trouble for me to shake Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache I was ridin' high until the '89 'quake Hit the Santa Cruz shopping mall Like a wrecking ball Hit the Santa Cruz shopping mall Just like a wrecking ball [Verse 1] Look out boys, I'm a rollin' stone That's what I've been since I first left home Got every secret that I've ever known And I'm headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball
