Lyrics
ROLLIN' STONE
W: Larry M Clark, BMI P: Ellemsee Music, BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com VERSE 1:
Listen, people..... as I move along, ain't got no fam'ly.... ain't got no home
Ain't got no one.... to call my own, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
And, yes.... I'm a simple man, take my pleasures.... when I can
All too soon.... I move along, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
SOLO
VERSE 2
Hitched from Boston.... to L.A. saw a hundred towns.... along the way
North and South.... and Westward gone, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
And I've been.... in every state, some I love.... and some I hate
Walked sometimes....and I've flown, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
BRIDGE
When I was a boy, I lost my Folks, foster homes were just a joke
Mistreatment there, I left on my own and I became.... a rollin' stone
CHORUS
Rollin' stone, I'm a rollin' stone, can't remember a happy home
Can't change now.... life's been too long, I'll always be.... a rollin' stone
SOLO
VERSE 3
Oh Yeah.... I'm the travelin' kind, don't know why.... but it's in my mind
Always had.... the urge to roam, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
And I've worked.... every now and then, Made enough to be gone again
Like a dog.... chasing after a bone, Guess that makes me.... a rollin' stone
CHORUS
