In '63, they met when he Was travelling with the fairs and country shows Come '69, what seemed the 14th time He came to town with the Lone Star rodeo And stayed a week from that morning Then said he ought to move along She told him there and then He shouldn't leave again She'd never love a rolling stone Oh if you love me babe You'll miss the southbound train I'll never love a rolling stone She took a cup, and filled it up With scalding coffee to the brim She looked away then looked at him Without a word she poured it down the sink And so you're leaving here this morning Her voice betrayed an undertone
He'd seen it in her eyes Back in '75 She'd never love a rolling stone Yeh she'd made up her mind Back in '79 She'd never love a rolling stone Hey look at you, it's 1982 You've come a long, long way since '63 I've seen the news, all your reviews Saying where you are and where you're gonna be And here you are again this morning 3 days from now and you'll be gone No don't take off your boots I told you it's no use No I'll never love a rolling srone He turned around to go Then, she just whispered "no" I'll never love a rolling stone I'll never love a rolling stone I told you it's no use
