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 A wall of fire that I've walked through Only tryin' to get a hold on you A wall of 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
