Well, look out boys, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone
That's the way it's been since I first left home
Took every secret I'd ever known
And headed for the wall
Like a wrecking ball
[Verse 2]
Started down this road to sin
Playing bass under a pseudonym
The days were rough, it was 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]
A darling daughter on a scholarship
Well, I got tired and let my average slip
Then I was a farmer in the pogonip
Whеre the weed that I recall
Was likе a wrecking ball
[Verse 4]
I met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin
She showed me colors that I'd never seen
And drank the bottom out of my canteen
Then left me in the fall
Like a wrecking ball
[Verse 5]
Standing 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
[Chorus]
Hey boys, I was just a little Deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
I was just a little Deadhead
[Verse 6]
With too much trouble for me to shake
Oh, the weather and that blinding ache
Was riding high 'til the '89 quake
Hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall
Like a wrecking ball
[Outro]
I was just a little Deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
I was just a little Deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
Who is watching, who is watching?
