Won't you tell me about the rebel
Was he a noble kind of fellow
about the day he went away
Won't you tell me what you see now
Was he anything like me or was he more?
Was it half of what I think or twice
As much as I believe I thought it was
He said, sorry you didn't know now
It's just the saddest thing to me
that any rolling stone could
There are several different
About the many ways he often was
Even the law above the law
They say this much is true
That any man who ever knew him
Wore it right there on his sleeve,
It's just the saddest thing to me
that any rolling stone could ever be
It's just one more thing that I'll say before we
go our separate ways back to our worlds
Was forever just a phrase,
or was the rebel just afraid of who he was?
I tell ya, that I had his face in the same line
But I'm a drifter just the same
Walk away from anyone I've ever loved
He said, sorry you didn't know him
Just the saddest thing to me
that any rolling stone could ever be
