Winding your way down on Baker Street
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
Well an- other crazy day, you drink the night away
And for- get about e- very- thing
This city desert makes you feel so cold, it's got
So many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held e- very- thing

You used to think that it was so ea- sy
You used to say that it was so ea- sy
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Another year and then you'd be ha- ppy
Just one more year and then you'd be ha- ppy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now


Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about a- ny- thing
He's got this dream a- bout buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
And for- get about e- very- thing

But you know he'll always keep mo- ving
You know he's never gonna stop mo- ving
Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new mor- ning
The sun is shining it's a new mor- ning
And you're going, you're going home
