Lyrics
Well now boys, I'm a rollin' stone That's what I was when I first left home I took every secret that I'd ever known And headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball
Started down on the holy road of 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
Oh, just a little deadhead Who's watching? who's watching? I's just a little deadhead
...A fallen daughter on a scholarship Well, I got tired and let my average slip Then i's a farmer in the pogonip Where the weed that I recall Was like a wrecking ball
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 left me in the fall Like a wrecking ball
Standin' there, in the morning mist A jack & coke at the end my wrist Yes, I remember when first we kissed 'Though it was nothing at all Like a wrecking ball
Hey boys, a little deadhead Who's watching? who's watching? I's just a little deadhead
With too much trouble for me to shake Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache We was ridin' high until the '89 quake Hit the santa cruz garden mall Like a wrecking ball
