Wrecking Ball Songtext
von Hard Working Americans

Look out boys, ′I'm a rollin′ 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 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

I was just a little deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
I was just a little deadhead
I won a dollar 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


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

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 at all
Like a wrecking ball

Hey boys, just a little deadhead
Who′s watching, who's watching?
I was just a little deadhead
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 Look out boys, ′I′m a rollin' stone
That′s what I been since I first left home
I took every secret that I'd ever known
And headed for the wall
Like a wrecking ball
