Wrecking Ball - Gillian Welch
Soul Journey
AWell now Aboys, I'm a Drollin' Astone
Ethat's what EI was when I fDirst left Ahome
DTook every Dsecret that AI ever Aknown
F#mand headed Efor the Dwall D
F#mLike a wErecking Aball A
AStarted Adown on tDhe holy road Aof sin
EPlayin' bEass unDder a pAseudonym
DThe days wDere rough aAnd it's alAl quite dim
F#mbut my mEind cuts tDhrough iDt all
F#mLike a wErecking Aball A
Chorus
DI was jDust a lAittle F#mdeadhead
DWho's waAtching, WDho is wAatching
F#mI's justF#m a littleD deadheDad
Fallen daughter on a scholarship
Well 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
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
Standin' there in the autum mist
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
Chorus
DHey boys jDust a lAittle F#mdeadhead
DWho's waAtching, WDho is wAatching
F#mI was justF#m a littleD deadheDad
With too much trouble for me to shake
Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache
was riding high untill the '89 quake
hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall
like a wrecking ball
