Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
And I asked her, where you going to?
Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

So I met another lady and so many more
Didn't really know which way to go
So I met another lady and so many more
But no-one did I get to know
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
Now you know where she was going to
Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
Now you know what I've been going through
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Living like a rolling stone

I was like a rolling....
I was like a rolling stone

. . .


Walking alone, a street with no phone
Could I be younger most of the time?
Doing her wrong, taking so long
Should I do all things in my own time?
May I be wiser, yes, than most men will ever be?
May I be younger most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time

May I be wiser, yes, than most men will ever be?
May I be younger most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time
Most of the time, most of the time

. . .


You made me love you, now I can't say goodbye
You're way above me, but I'll never know why
When I turn left and then you turn right
And you say you're right, and you're wrong
I know you're wrong

Oh, I saw the light in you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light

You made me like you, and now like you I am
I try to stay me, but I don't know if I can
Oh, when I say it's black and you say it's white
And I say it's black and you're wrong
I know you're wrong

'Cos I saw the light in you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light

Standing on the platform watching all the trains go past
Keep on trying to catch one but you know they're much too fast
I never seem to make it but I know the reason why
I need to, need to, need to, need to get away

You made me love you, now I can't say goodbye
You're way above me but I'll never know why
Oh, when I say it's black and you say it's white
And I say it's right and you're wrong
I know you're wrong

Oh, I saw the light in you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light
Oh, I saw the light with you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light
Oh, I saw the light in you...

. . .


I really didn't wanna break it, you know I'm sorry its over and done
I really thought we would have made it but now its gone
Can you look into my eyes and tell me that there's nothing wrong
I know you know it's not the same, it's not the same old song
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done

None of us are getting younger and we all want to be a millionaire
And when you stop to think about it, it seems unfair
But if you never stop to think at all you'd never be aware
And never understand the meaning of the love we share
It's over and over, I told you it's over, it's only fair
Oh it's over and over, I told you it's over and done

It's no good trying to make it better, you know it doesn't feel right to do
Everything we shared together would break in two
Can you hear what I've been trying to say? I wouldn't do you wrong
We've got to get it over now and learn to carry on
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done
It's over and over and over, I told you it's over and done
Oh it's over and over, I told you it's over and done

. . .


Dreaming, going on a night ride
Hoping it's gonna be the right ride
Feeling so well, I'm in tune, can you tell that I'm grooving?
Can't you tell I'm in tune, and I'm moving so much closer to you

Leaning, hoping for a straight line
Meaning, hoping for the right rhyme
I'm in tune to the room 'cos my head just went boom and I'm moving
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me

Scheming, thinking of the right place
Beaming, laughing at my own face
We got a long way to go 'cos you make like you're so disapproving
But can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm moving so much closer to you
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm moving so much closer to you

You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing, and you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again
Again again again and deeper and down

Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing, stop your messing with me
You'll be back to find your way
Again again again again
Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down

Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have found you out you see
I know what you're doing, what you're doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again
Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down

Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

Sitting by a broken window
Up in a back room swallowing wine
Gazing down a backstreet garden
With my bed chair table and wine
Looks like I'm going no where but no where's where I am
Guess Iґll always be a backstreet broken man

Calling out my name and number
As I was walking out of my cell
Louie gave me back my wallet
He nearly dropped my picture of Nell
Drinking gets you nowhere but nowhere's where I am
Guess Iґll always be a backstreet broken man
Oh broken man, oh yeah, broken man

Early on a Sunday morning
As I was walking on down the lane
Someone said, I beg your pardon
And I was sure I knew her name
She was going somewhere but nowhere's where I ran
Guess Iґll always be a backstreet broken man
Oh that's where I am, guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man

. . .


I found her in a nowhere and I lost her
And I found her and I lost her in a way.
She told me of a life, of a great life
Of a fun life but a dumb life in a way
We took off to a somewhere, it was fun there
All along there but we left there in a way.

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do, to do

We started talkin easy 'bout the sleazy
And the easy things that people do
I told her of a life, of a strange one
Pre-arranged one that I dreamt of anyway

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do, to do

I found her in a nowhere, and I lost her
And I found her and I lost her in a way
I told her of a life, of a strange one
Pre-arranged one that I dreamt of anyway

I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to do, to do

. . .


Let me know, let me see
What is this thing that is constantly happening to me, yeah
'Cos when you hold me tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

If I should cry, let me cry
My tears are crying a lullaby
'Cos when I hold you tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am

Changes in me, learning to be
Everything that I just silently wanted to see
'Cos when I'm all alone, everything that I own
Lets me know where I am
Give to me what you can
I'll give you all I command

. . .


Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
