Lyrics: Randy petersen Music: Randy petersen Miles from home And I can't retrace my steps On a lonely road That's paved with my regrets Girl I know I let you down The day I set you free I ran off Lost my way Now love's a memory Like a rolling bone I've been rolling along I keep rolling straight and true Till I find my way back to you But until that day I'll be on my own Like a rolling bone Riding railroad cars From one town to the next Walking boulevards 'Til my fur is cold and wet Running down some alley But I can't outrun my heart When I dream I dream of you It's tearing me apart I'm a rolling bone And I walk alone I'm a rolling bone And the road is long I'm a rolling bone And you know it's true I'm a rolling bone Rolling back to you Come highway or byway I've got to do it my way Until that day I'll be on my own Like a rolling bone I was born a stray All I owned was the music in my soul Had to find my way Living on my dreams of rock 'n roll Like a rolling bone I've been running along I keep rolling straight and true 'Til I find my way back to you Until that day I'll be on my own Like a rolling bone Like a rolling bone
