The Biggest Disappointment (Live Acoustic from the 2019 Greatest Hits Tour - Casino NSW)

[Verse 1]
They had my future wrapped up in a parcel
And no one even thought of asking me
The day I turned fifteen, I caught the mail train
To find what else might be in life for me
I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothin'
Served me right for wanting to be free
Oh well, that's the way society looked at it
But it didn't seem to be that way to me
If you know any words, let's go

[Chorus]
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me (Woo)
The only twisted branch upon our good ol' family tree
I just couldn't be the person they expectеd me to be
And the biggеst disappointment in the world was me
Beautiful work, my goodness me, listen to those voices

[Verse 2]
A lot more dinner times than there were dinners
And I learned a lot that hurt me at the time
And this quiet country boy went home a different man
With the memory of distance on my mind
But I always spoke too loud and laughed too often
And maybe drank too many glasses down
And perhaps my clothes were older than I realized
A relief to all concerned when I left town
It's all you, folks

[Chorus]
And the biggest disappointment in the family was me
The only twisted branch upon our good ol' family tree
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be
And the biggest disappointment in the world was me
