A rollin' stone gathers no moss 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
