Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Winding your way down on Baker Street

Light in your head and dead on your feet

Well, another crazy day

You'll drink the night away

And forget about everything

[Verse 2]

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 everything

[PreChorus]

You used to think that it was so easy

You used to say that it was so easy

But you're trying, you're trying now

Another year and then you'd be happy

Just one more year and then you'd be happy

But you're crying, you're crying now

[Verse 3]

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 anything

He's got this dream about buying 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 forget about everything

[PreChorus]

But you know he'll always keep moving

You know he's never gonna stop moving

'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone

And when you wake up, it's a new morning

The sun is shining, it's a new morning

And you're going, you're going home
