When I was young My family found out I was dumb They tried their best But it wasn't enough Because all that they did was read books to me I know I'm gone Too far along Been told I'm dumb Accept it with open arms Is that all that's left for me? Your effort was wasted on me And I know what I want I've known it since I was ten To be on the road Playing to people that understand They said that I They said I was dumb They said that I I'd be a glorified bum And if you agree get away from me I know I'm gone Too far along Been told I'm dumb Accept it with open arms Is that all that's left for me? Your effort was wasted on me I know I'm gone Too far along Been told I'm dumb Accept it with open arms I know I'm gone Too far along Been told I'm dumb Accept it with open arms Is that all that's left for me? Your effort was wasted on me
