[Verse 1]


   Windin' you

r way down on 

Baker Street

Light in your head and dead on your feet
       
Well a nother 

crazy day
       
You'll drink t

he night away
        
And for get ab

out everything

[Verse 2]


    This city 

desert makes y

ou feel so col

d.

It's got so many people but it's got no soul
         
And it's taken

 you so long
   
To find out yo

u were wrong
         
When you thoug

ht it held eve

rything

[Chorus]

           
   You used to

              
 think that it

     
 was so easy
           
   You used to

              
 say that it w

   
as so easy
    
But you're try

in'
             
You're tryin' 


now
           
    Another ye

              
ar and then yo

     
u'll be happy
           
   Just one mo

              
re year and th

          
en you'll be h

appy
    
But you're cry

in'           

 
          
You're cryin' 

         
now

[Verse 3]


   Way down th

e street there

's a light in 

his place

He opens the door he's got that look on his face
       
And he asks yo

u where you've

 been
    
You tell him w

ho you've seen
             
And you talk a

                   
bout anything

[Verse 4]


  He's got thi

s dream about 

buyin' some la

nd

He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
           
And then he'll

              
 settle down i

       
n some quiet l

ittle town
        
And for get ab

out everything

[Chorus]

           
    But you kn

              
ow he'll alway

  
s keep movin'
           
   You know he

              
's never gonna

 
 stop movin
      
Cause he's rol

lin'          

       ^  ^^
             
He's the rolli

                    
n' stone
           
   And when yo

              
u wake up it's

   
 a new mornin'
           
   The sun is 

              
shinin' it's a

 
 new mornin'

You're goin'  

              

      
         
You're goin' o
