The day I turned fifteen I caght the mailtrain
C D G
To find what else might be in life for me.

I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing;
Em A7
Served me right for wanting to be free-

Ah well that's the way society looked at it,
C D G
But it didn't seem to be that way to me.
Chorus
G D G
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me;
C D7
the only twisted branch upon our good old fam'y tree
G B7 Em
I just couldn't be the person they ecpected me to be
G C D G
A7 And the biggest disappiontment in the world was me
C G C D
A lot more dinner times than there dinners
C D G
I learned a lot that hurt me at the time
C D
Then this quiet country boy came home a different man
C D G
with a memory of distance on my mind
Em B7
But i always spoke to loud and drank to often,
Em A7
Maybe drank to many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized
C D G
A relief to all concerned when I left town
