some people call me a teenage idol
some people say they envy me
i guess they got no way of knowing
how lonesome i can be

i need somebody to be my baby
someone to tell my troubles to
i've got no time to ever find her
cause i'm just passing through

i travel around from town to lonely town
i guess i'll always be just a rolling stone
if i find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
that won't mean a thing if i'm all alone

i get no rest when i'm feeling weary
i got to pack my bags and go
i got to be somewhere tomorrow
to smile and do my show

i travel around from town to lonely town
i guess i'll always be just a rolling stone
if i find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
that won't mean a thing if i'm all alone

some people call me a teenage idol
some people say they envy me
i guess they got no way of knowing
how lonesome i can be
how lonesome i can be
