I've been loved
And I've been alone
All my life I've been a rollin' stone
Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you

Done everything that 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
All the fire that I've walked through
Only tryin' to get a hold on you

All the fire that I walked through
Only tryin' to get a hold on you

I saw you waitin' at the gate
But I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
And still I can't get there from here

I've been high
And I've been low
I've been people that I don't know
Been to China and old Peru
Only tryin' to get a hold on you

Been to China and to Peru
I'm only tryin' to get a hold on you
Only tryin' to get a hold on you
