The Biggest Disappointment Lyrics & Chords By Missy Higgins

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.
Ah well that's the way society looked at it.
But it didn't seem to be that way for me.
And the biggest dissapointment in the family was me.
The only twisted branch upon that good old family tree.
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be
and the biggest dissapointment in the world was me.
A lot more dinner times then there were dinners.
I learnt a lot that hurt me at the time.
A quite 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 realised,
a relief to all concerned when I left town.
And the biggest dissapointment in the family was me.
The only twisted branch upon that good old family tree.
I just coudn't be the person they expected me to be.
And the biggest dissapointment in the world was me.
And the biggest dissapoinment in the family was me.
the only twsited branch upon that good old family tree.
I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be.
And the biggest dissapointment in the world was me.
