[Verse]
             
Winding your w

              
ay down on Bak

              
er Street

Light in your head, and dead on your feet
            
Well another c

              
razy day, you 


drink the nigh

t away
             
And forget abo

           
ut everything
             
This city dese

              
rt makes you f

              
eel so cold,

I'ts got so many people but its got no soul
            
And its taken 

              
you so long to

 
 find out you 

were wrong
             
When you thoug

              
ht it held eve

 
rything.

[Chorus]
           
You used to th

              
ink that it wa

  
s so easy
           
You used to sa

              
y that it was 


so easy
             
But you're try

             
in, you're try

        
in now
           
Another year a

              
nd then you'd 


be happy
           
Just one more 

              
year and then 

      
you'd be happy
             
But you're cry

             
in', you're cr

         
yin now

[Verse]
             
Way down the s

              
treet there's 

              
a light in his

         
 place

You open the door, he's got that look on his face
            
And he asks yo

              
u where you've

           
 been, you tel

l him who you'

ve seen
             
And you talk a

          
bout anything

             
He's got this 

              
dream about bu

                
yin' some land

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

              
 settle down, 

       
it's a quiet l

ittle town
             
And forget abo

           
ut everything

[Chorus]
           
But you know h

            
e'll always ke


ep moving
           
You know he's 

            
never gonna st


op moving
             
Cause he's rol

             
ling, he's the

             
 rolling stone
           
And when you w

              
ake up, it's a


 new morning
           
The sun is shi

            
ning, it's a n


ew morning
             
And you're goi

             
ng, you're goi

   
ng home
