I was born to be a rolling stone
Born to be a rolling stone
Movin' 'round without a home
Rolling stone
I rented a house in Dallas
About three years ago
I'da still been livin' in Dallas
But I heard a whistle blow
And I was born to be a rolling stone
Born to be a rolling stone
Movin' 'round without a home
Rolling stone
I went over up to London
I loved it, what a swingin' town
Got a fast talkin' phony with a big cigar
He tried to bring me down
I was born to be a rolling stone
Born to be a rolling stone
Movin' 'round without a home
Rolling stone
And I was born to be a rolling stone
Born to be a rolling stone
Movin' 'round without a home
Rolling stone
