The Biggest Disappointment (feat. Dan Sultan)

They had my future wrapped up in a parcel

And no one even thought of asking me

The day I turned fifteen I took the mail train

To find out what else might be in life for me

Well I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing

Served me right for wanting to be free

??? that's the way society looked at it

But it didn't seem to be that way to me

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon and 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

A lot more dinner times than there were dinners

I learned a lot that hurt me at the time

This quiet country boy came home a different man

With a memory of distance on my mind

But I always spoke too loud and drank too often

Maybe drank too many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older than I realized

A relief to all concerned when I left the town

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon and 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

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon and 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
