I've dodged the flame of love My heart's been slippery and cold I always thought I'd walk this path At least until I was almost old Those sweet lips and eyes of green Cut me like a blade of steel Pull my heart like an eighteen wheel Running up a tennessee hill I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground She was the only one that ever could tie me down Free life I left behind Strapped to an angel's wings Bounded to a new born love Tied up in the apron strings I used to live alone Never needed anyone And she turned my head around I didn't even try to run I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground She was the only one that ever could tie me down Lookin' back, I realize Happy is not what I was When you run across a woman, It's your true love Stronger than a moonshine buzz I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground She was the only one that ever could tie me down I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground She was the only one that ever could slow me down She was the only one that ever could tie me down
