I am just a ramblin’ man
I do my living where I can
And any road or highway is my home

Don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Keeping just ahead of sorrow
I’m a rolling stone

Left my home when I was 10
To see the world and learn
A little bit about the things I didn’t know

The labor crews and gandy dancers
Taught me questions without answers
But I learn less the farther on I go

Hear the sea (hear my destiny), calling me (calling me away)
Travel on, the day I die
I know that I will be alone

I have tasted love’s sweet wine
And there are many women
That I know I have the right to call my own
But my life’s of much too short duration
To be spent in one location
That is why I'm still a rolling stone
Nights I’ve drifted on the river
Gazing at the stars so far
Above the dark that is their home

Life is like a lonely river
Drifting on and into never
And like every star I am alone

Hear the sea (hear my destiny), calling me (calling me away)
Travel on, the day I die
I know that I will be alone

I am just a ramblin’ man
I do my living where I can
And any road or highway is my home

Don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
Keeping just ahead of sorrow
I’m a rolling stone
