I've been running the streets

For most of my days,

Tryin' to live on my own

Like a rollin stone,

Never gathers no moss...

Especially, when he's rollin' alone

Been bustin' my ass, to get by

Though it never did me no wrong

Though it never did me no right

Day by day i keep rollin' along

Keepin' my nose outta trouble

Stickin' close to my guns

I did it before and i'll do it again

Ain't nothing gonna make me run

I said, hey, policeman

Get up off of my case!

Hey, mr. policeman

I ain't wanted no place

You're always around,

You keep watching me down

For just being around, on these streets

The street is my home

So just leave me alone

I'm rollin' alone to be free

Livin' in the shadows

Running in the rain

Feeling like a convict

Freedom down the drain

I try to get on no way

You're the wall between

Solid brick, ten miles thick

So confined i could scream...

Hey! policeman

Get up off of my case!

Hey, mr. policeman

I ain't wanted no place

Hey! policeman

Get `em off of my case!

Hey, mr. policeman

`cuz i wear an innocent face

I sure do,

Working so hard to pay my dues

And all the time you keep watching me

What did i do wrong ?

Set me free... now!

(solo section)

(chorus)

The deputy, the marshall,

The pigs, the fuzz, and the heat

Why, even the keystone cops

Ain't got nothing on me

I'm a free man,

Running for my life most everyday

I don't have no worries

And no dues to pay

So, keep your evil eyes away

And keep your evil lies... away
