[Verse 1]
Promise you'll wait for me
Swear I won't be gone for too long
See, there's things I gotta see, yeah
But it's something I must do alone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Like a rolling stone
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Like a rolling stone, yeah
Like a rolling stone
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Like a rolling stone, yeah

[Chorus 1]
Ever since I been gone we've been driftin' apart
As time passes on, distance grows
When I finally get home, we go back to the start
See, I never meant to be a rollin' stone

[Verse 2]
What do they want with me?
(What do they want? Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only here for a second, then I'm gone
(For a second then I'm gone, yeah)
It drains my energy
(You know it drains my energy)
Such a long and winding road
(Such a long and winding road)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like a rolling stone
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Like a rolling stone, yeah (Oh-oh, like a rolling stone, yeah)
Like a rolling stone (Yeah, I'm rollin')
I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' (I'm rollin')
Like a rolling stone, yeah (rollin' stone, whoa-oh)

[Chorus 2]
Ever since I been gone we've been driftin' apart (yeah)
(Been driftin' apart, yeah)
As time passes on, distance grows (yeah)
And when I finally get home, we go back to the start
(We go back to the start)
See, I never meant to be a rollin' stone
(No, I never meant to be a rollin' stone, yeah)

[Outro]
Oh no, I never meant to be a rollin' stone
Rollin' stone
Like a rollin' stone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
