I's Just a Little Dead Head

West Virginia


Wrecking Ball Lyrics
Gillian Welch

Look out boys cause I'm a rolling 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 road to sin
Playing 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 is watching, who is watching
I's just a little deadhead

I won a dollar on a scholarship
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
Then left me in the fall
Like a wrecking ball

Standing 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 at all
Like a wrecking ball

Hey boys, a little deadhead
Who is watching, who's watching
I's just a little deadhead

Too much trouble for me to shake
Oh, the weather and the blinding ache
Was riding high until the '89 quake
Hit the Santa Cruz garden mall
Like a wrecking ball

Love the tattoo, 'cause I's a deadhead too. But you knew that already. :)
Terrific song and I love her voice. Voted.
