I been loved and I been alone
all my life I been a rolling stone
done everything a man can do
everything but get a hold on you
done everything a man can do
everything but get a hold on you
I've been blessed and I've been cursed
all my lies have been unrehearsed
a wall of fire that I walked through
only trying to get a hold on you
a wall of fire that I walked through
only trying to get a hold on you
I saw you waiting at the gate
but I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
but still I can't get there from here
I been high and I been low
I been people that I don't know
I been to China and to Peru
only trying to get a hold on you
I been to China and to Peru
only trying to get a hold on you
only trying to get a hold on you
