Reo Speedwagon - Find My Fortune

Reo Speedwagon - Find My Fortune


Backwoods killer from a river town

A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down

High school rebel he's always been bad

And his poor old man's still wond'ring 'bout the lad

But he's gone gone away to find his fortune


There's a long-haired lady lookin' for a home

With her young son he'd left them both alone

And his black-haired lover's got a broken heart

'Cause her lonely boy just won't play the part

'Cause he's gone gone away to find his fortune


And it's been a long long way

From that little town to LA

And I can't turn around

Ladies I'm gone gone away to find my fortune


A restless nature fed my crazy dreams

So I packed my bags in a big limousine

laughed at the people who were laughin' at me

Laughed and said I'm gonna be what I be

And I'm gone gone away to find my fortune
