[00:00.00]The Biggest Disappointment - Stephen R Cheney
[00:06.26]They had my future
[00:07.61]Wrapped up in a parcel
[00:12.04]And no one even thought of asking me
[00:17.95]The day I turned fifteen
[00:19.88]I caught the mail train
[00:23.86]To find out what else
[00:25.00]Might be in life for me
[00:29.76]I rode on trucks
[00:30.96]And trains and lived on nothin'
[00:35.51]Served me right for wanting to be free
[00:41.02]Ah well that's the way society
[00:44.16]Looked at it
[00:47.18]But it didn't seem to be
[00:49.20]That way to me
[00:52.73]And the biggest disappointment
[00:55.68]In the family was me
[00:59.21]The only twisted branch
[01:01.24]Upon our good old family tree
[01:04.58]I just couldn't be the person
[01:07.23]They expected me to be
[01:10.49]And the biggest disappointment
[01:13.29]In the world was me
[01:21.38]A lot more dinner times
[01:23.24]Than there were dinners
[01:27.02]I learned a lot
[01:28.28]That hurt me at the time
[01:32.69]Then this quiet country boy
[01:35.03]Went home a different man
[01:38.77]With a memory of distance on my mind
[01:44.65]But I always spoke too loud
[01:46.75]And laughed too often
[01:50.80]And maybe drank too many glasses down
[01:56.12]And perhaps my clothes were older
[01:59.01]Than I realised
[02:02.44]A relief to all concerned
[02:04.77]When I left town
[02:07.87]And the biggest disappointment
[02:10.47]In the family was me
[02:14.41]The only twisted branch upon
[02:17.01]Our good old family tree
[02:19.76]I just couldn't be the person
[02:22.51]They expected me to be
[02:25.59]And the biggest disappointment
[02:28.50]In the world was me
[02:32.98]And the biggest disappointment
[02:35.89]In the family was me
[02:39.45]The only twisted branch
[02:41.60]Upon our good old family tree
[02:44.80]I just couldn't be the person
[02:47.53]They expected me to be
[02:50.66]And the biggest disappointment
[02:53.52]In the world was me
