Lyrics

You called me on a Sunday and I knew what you were gonna to say
You could always count on me to help you girl, with your running away
There was nobody else to turn to
So I said, “Yes,” like a good friend will
Girl, both you and I know
That you were never good at standing still

I got a little bored week-by-week in those Tennessee woods
I tried to keep a husband and a home…I did the best that I could
But I missed my old way of living
And it was time to come down the hill
Yeah, both you and I know
That I was never good at standing still…no, no, no, no

You were never good at standing still
Girl, you were never good at being alone
Caught between a rock and a hard place
You chose to be a rolling stone

You called me on a Sunday and I knew that you were getting gone
(Yeah, I’m getting gone)
You could always count on me to understand your need for moving on
(Yeah, I’m moving on)

Some people are born to settle down
Some hold a cup they can never fill
Girl, both you and I know
That you were never good at standing still
(no, no, no, no…)

You were never good at standing still…
(no, no, no, no…)
You were never good at standing still…
(no, no, no, no…)
You were never good at standing still…
(Hell, I’m a rolling stone, yeah)
