Life of a Rolling Stone (OurVinyl Sessions)

I'm not known for stayin' very long

Just about the duration of an old Jimmy Rodgers song

And I've been known to gamble and drink in bars

Catch myself a neon tint, a Volvo, and this guitar

And I've gone by many names

Not like my father or the bible one I skate

But it's all the same

Well, it's four white walls, a damn

Good crowd, and life in the fast lane

And it feels so strange

Walkin' around, singin' the blues, and people know my name

We're back on the road

Headed down to El Paso

Hell, that's the way it goes in the life of a rollin' stone

Well, my mama called me up the other day

Heard a worry in her voice, not sure I'd be okay

And that night as I sat down to pray

Whiskey heart on my breath, I heard "I Saw the Light" play

In the mirror all I see is a ghost

Never mind, that's just me, the man I miss the most

But it's all the same

Well, it's "Hey There Hoss," the "Lovesick

Blues," and stumblin' my ass off stage

And it feels so strange

It's "Kalija," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Miss Audrey," callin' my name

We're back on the road

Got a two-night show down in Tupelo

Hell, that's the way it goes in the life of a rollin' stone

Well, it's been a hell of a year

Neighbors started callin' me the hillbilly Shakespeare

Got plans for my whiskey and that's why

The Lord only knows the last time I was found dry

As I head up to Ohio tonight

The radio softly weeps, I'm so lonesome I could cry

But it's all the same

Well, it's four white walls, a damn

Good crowd, and life in the fast lane

And it feels so strange

Walkin' around, singin' the blues, and a shot in the Hall of Fame

We're back on the road

Where this one goes nobody knows

Hell, that's the way it goes in the life of a rollin' stone

Yeah, man, that's the way it goes in the life of a rollin' stone
