The Stones Keep Rolling


Every morning it’s the same routine
alarm clock rings six-fifteen
crawl out of bed - grab a coffee
get dressed - shave you’re in a hurray
half-asleep in the subway
thinking TGIF - and it’s only Monday.
A dozen jobs in a dozen years
you’ve sold some smiles - you shed a few tears
you feel like a needle in a haystack
one in a million - you never look back.



And The Stones
yeah The Stones
The Stones
They keep rolling
yeah The Stones
they keep rolling
The Stones
they keep rolling
and I’m rolling too
and I’m rolling too.



Pushing forty - looking like thirty
feeling like twenty - keep touching wood
day dreams of James Dean
Johnny Be Good - first class to Hollywood
your fantasies are now realities
thinking “Only The Lonely” - please “Let It Be”
and time’s going by so fast
tomorrow is part of days future past.



And The Stones
yeah The Stones
The Stones
they keep rolling
yeah The Stones
they keep rolling
The Stones
they keep rolling
and I’m rolling too
and I’m rolling too.
Yeah Ma Papa was a Rolling Stone
Papa was a Rolling Stone
yeah ma Papa - ma Papa - ma Papa - my Papa
was a Rolling Stone.
