[Verse 1]
Look out boys, I'm a rollin' stone
That's what I was when I first left home
Took every secret that I had ever known
And I headed for the wall
Like a wrecking ball
[Verse 2]
I started down on the road to 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
[Chorus]
I was just a little Deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
I was just a little Deadhead
[Verse 3]
I won a dollar on scholarship
Well, I got tired and let my average slip
Then I was a farmer in the pogonip
Where the weed that I recall
Was like a wrecking ball
[Verse 4]
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 then left me with the fall
Like a wrecking ball
[Verse 5]
Standin' 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, nothing at all
Like a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
Hey boy, just a little Deadhead
Who's watching, who's watching?
I was just a little Deadhead
[Verse 6]
With too much trouble for me to shake
Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache
I was ridin' high until the '89 'quake
Hit the Santa Cruz shopping mall
Like a wrecking ball
Hit the Santa Cruz shopping mall
Just like a wrecking ball
[Verse 1]
Look out boys, I'm a rollin' stone
That's what I've been since I first left home
Got every secret that I've ever known
And I'm headed for the wall
Like a wrecking ball
