F       F               F             G
  They had my future wrapped up in a parcel
     F           G                 F
and no one even thought of asking me.
                      F                G  
The day I turned fifteen I caght the mailtrain
     F                   G              F
To find what else might be in life for me.
   Am                                 E7 
I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing;
 Am                                 G7
Served me right for wanting to be free- 
          F               F            G
Ah well that's the way society looked at it, 
        F               G             F
But it didn't seem to be that way to me.


Chorus
            F             G              F       
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me;
                    F              G7
the only twisted branch upon our good old fam'y tree
          F              E7             Am              
I just couldn't be the person they ecpected me to be
              F              F              G       F 
A7 And the biggest disappiontment in the world was me



A lot more dinner times than there dinners

I learned a lot that hurt me at the time

Then this quiet country boy came home a different man 

with a memory of distance on my mind

But i always spoke to loud and drank to often, 

Maybe drank to many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized

A relief to all concerned when I left town
