Stone Keeps Rolling - The King's Blues Club
I was born on a freight line shadow
Raised by the rumble of wheels
And got no ties
No door to knock
Just the blues and these boot heels
Mama said boy
You better settle down
But I got a soul that don't wear a crown
Every town I touch
I'm gone by dawn
Like a whisper right in a thunderstorm
I'm a rolling stone can't sit too long
A tumbleweed humming a midnight song
The road don't ask
The wind don't care
And my shadow's the only thing always there
Got a woman in Memphis
One out in St. Joe
But they all say baby why you gotta go
I kiss them soft
Like a lonesome tune
Then I vanish like the dark side of the moon
These boots ain't polished but they know the way
Dust and sweat mark every mile I play
No roots no chains no family tree
Just the Mississippi moaning inside of me
I'm a rolling stone heart made of coal
The deeper I drift the more I feel whole
No moss can catch me no hands can hold
I'm blues in motion I'm fire in the cold
Ain't got a home
Ain't got a throne
The blues keeps me warm when I'm all alone
That stone keeps rolling
Cause that's all I ever known
