Age of sixteen I was on the road Doing things you've never seen And I've been used I've been confused Trying to live the life I lead You can't put the blame on me I've been misunderstood Never could get satisfied Living how you think I should Don't tell me what to do And don't tell me how to spend my time I ain't got nothing to hide I'm free to be what I want to be And nobody owns my mind I've got my sunshine eyes and I've got my sunshine smile I may be lonesome at times I'm free to be where I want to be And nobody owns my time Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone Packed my bags and I'm on my way Don't know what I'm gonna find I'll just take what comes today Tomorrow leave it all behind It's all right now don't you worry If you feel that you've got to roam A rolling stone can't lean on no one They got to keep movin' on Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone Rollin' Stone
