| When I was only 17 I thought I knew it all
|
| But little did I know that I was headed for a fall
|
| Daddy tried to tell me, boy you wanna be a man
|
| Gotta know when to walk and when to make a stand
|
| Gotta be hard like a rock and roll like a rollin' stone
|
| Hit it boys… yeah…that's right
|
| Show up two minutes late for my dead end job
|
| Got a boss who’s on the take and I think I’m being robbed
|
| Layin' down the law to me like Moses on the hill
|
| I don’t mind tellin' you, I think I’ve had my fill
|
| I don’t have to take it
|
| I don’t have to take it from you, oh no no
|
| I don’t have to take it
|
| I tell you what I’m gonna do
|
| I’m gonna be hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone
|
| I said I’m gonna be hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone, yeah
|
| Headin' out early, thought I’d put up with the worst
|
| Lord I shoulda known better, shoulda called home first
|
| What did I see when I opened up the door
|
| My baby and another man doin' it on the floor
|
| I ain’t gonna take it
|
| I ain’t gonna take it from you, even if you want me to
|
| I ain’t gonna take it
|
| I tell you what I’m gonna do
|
| I’m gonna be hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone
|
| Hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone, yeah
|
| Gonna drink from the well, till the river runs dry
|
| Reach for the stars till the day that I die
|
| And when I’m lookin' for fun
|
| I’m gonna rock until I run
|
| When I was only 17 I got some good advice
|
| If you think you know it all boy, you best be thinkin' twice
|
| Daddy tried to tell me, boy you wanna be a man
|
| Gotta know when to walk and when to make a stand
|
| Gotta be hard, I gotta roll
|
| Hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone
|
| Hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone
|
| Hard like a rock
|
| Roll like a rollin' stone
|
| Hard like a rock
|
| I gotta roll, roll
|
| Yeah, on my own
|
| Gonna drink from the well, till the river runs dry
|
| Reach for the stars till the day that I die
|
| And when I’m lookin' for fun
|
| I’m gonna rock until I run |
