A rollin' stone gathers no moss.
So, as far as i can see, i guess i was meant to be just a rollin' stone.
A rollin' stone gathers no moss. a rollin' stone hasn't a boss.
Just like a spring or a summer's breeze, i can roll just where i please. i'm just a rollin' stone.
Can't lose my way, all directions are the same when i'm a-travelin'. i've got no home, sweet home.
Just keep boppin', never stoppin', couldn't even if i wanted to, i've got to roam and roll.
A rollin' stone gathers no moss. a rollin' stone's like that coin that you toss.
But i don't need level ground. i can roll up hill or down. i'm just a rollin' stone.
When i'm travelin', all directions are the same. a string unravelin', i don't think that i'm to blame.
Some might think my life's a loss. a rollin' stone never gets lost.
So, i'll just keep playin' it straight 'til i roll right through that gate. i'm just a rollin' stone.
A rollin' stone.
