The Biggest Disappointment (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
I had my future wrapped up in El Paso
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 nothing
Served me right for wanting to be free
Ah well, that's the way society looked at it
But it didn't seem to be that way to me

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

[Verse 2]
A lot more dinner times than there were dinners
And I learned a lot that hurt me at the time
Then 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 concern when I left town

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

[Outro]
Still am the biggest disappointment
