[Intro]

G
I've dodged the flame of love, my heart's been slippery and cold
F C G
I always thought I'd walk this path, 'least until I was almost old
Those sweet lips and eyes of green cut me like a blade of steel
F C G
Pull my heart like an eighteen wheel running up a Tennessee hill
[Chorus]
C G F C G
I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground
C G F C G
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
[Solo]
C G F C G C G F C G G G Em D C
G
Feel like I left behind, trapped to an angel's wings
F C G
Bounded to a new born love, tied up in the apron strings
I used to live alone, never needed anyone
F C G
And she turned my head around, I didn't even try to run
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Yeah, I was rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground
C G F C G
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
[Solo]

G
Lookin' back, I realize happy is not what I was
F C G
When you run across a woman, it's your true love that stronger than a moonshine buzz
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Yeah, I was rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground
C G F C G
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Yeah, I was rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground
C G F C G
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Yeah, I was rollin' stone, my feet never touch the ground
C G F C G
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
C G F C G
Yeah, she was the only one that ever could --- tie me --- down ---
