Papa Was A Rolling Stone - song lyrics

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died
I never had a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Mama looked up and said son

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone

Where the hell are you daddy, that's what I'm sayin'
Down on my knees and tears and I'm prayin'
Wishing and hoping my dreams could come true
So I could feel like the other kids do
A young child but not complete as a whole
Before I was born you up and strolled
Mama was there but you was up in the wind
You never even knew my name and then
You never wrote, called, let alone came by
As a youth it was hard to wonder why
But now I'm older and I don't dwell on self pity
Thinking about the life you didn't give me
I remember when I used to tell lies
When people would ask I'd just fantasize
Thinking of stories to make you look good
But the real truth was you was never no good
People would say I looked just like you
But rest assured I don't act like you
I'm more than that, my mama raised me better
And you can best believe I'm much more together
So belive that

Mama is it true what they say
That papa never worked a day in his life?
And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town
That papa had three out-side children
And another wife, and that ain't right

Heard some talk about papa
Doin' some store-front prechin'
Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching
Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord
Mama looked up and said son

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone

It's been said you gave me something you never had
But that's not always true and it's sad
To find myself missing you when I did
But who knows the reasons why you did what you did
I can't help but wonder why
You lived your life as a big fat lie
You act like you had no responsibilities
'Cause if you did it's a bet that you wouldn't be
Stealin' beggin' hustlin' and schemin'
You could'a got a job
But did you know the meaning of work
I'm talking about an honest day's pay
But you was too lazy to be that way
Always trying to take the easy route
That's what they tell me, so I don't doubt
It for a moment, not for a sec
Because you lacked all your self respect
But it's too late for you that is
Tomorrow I'll be going on about my biz
And so it's time to put the past behind
Erase the anger and clear my mind
I want to forget the little bit I know
And make sure that I never sink so low
'Cause I want my kids to grow up and know
That I was always there because I loved them so
And that's the least thing that I can do
But that's a lot more than I got from you

I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave?
Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal
To pay his bills
Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin'
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin'
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died all he left us was alone

She took me in the bedroom To show me her computer She asked me if I liked it I told her she was cuter She wasn't that great But it was getting kind of late She talked about her father Said he never really liked her She said that she'd been married To a schizophrenic biker I thought I'd say goodbye But then I saw her start to cry We danced by the light of her video screen She looked me in the eyes and said "Why me?" On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all She drove a baby blue Ferrari She was all silk and diamonds Living at the top, no need for social climbing I asked her for a ride She said "Right here by my side" We went to her place overlooking the bay She said "There's just one bed Would that be okay?" On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all Successful romance comes when you leave it up to chance There's nothing you can do When the fire burns low and your heart turns cold It comes to you out of the blue On any given night anything can happen When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall With all of the people yelling and clapping Anything can happen, anything at all

The air was filled with suspicion She poured us two martinis And tried to guess my mission I pretended to know nothing It's best to use discretion But she turned her floodlight eyes on me And demanded a confession I told her I am a spy in the house of love Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections I am a spy in the house of love I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection I saw, yes i did, everything that pleased her I recorded every movement And plotted how to seize her I used a tiny camera I thought I'd japanese her I made a voodoo doll of her And sat around and squeezed her I told her i am a spy in the house of love Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections Iam a spy in the house of love I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection I'll read your mail I'll tap your phone I'm on your trail You're never alone One day you'll slip up And leave a lip print on a coffee cup I'm a spy and I just can't help myself

Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Let them down I spend my nights down on the wharf in unlit alleyways Next to the church downtown where Sally prays Come down sometime, we'll eat a rusty can of corn, yeah And listen to the radio, I love you, I love you, it says Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Yeah yeah yeah You cry but I don't, no, I've seen it all before There it goes again, the slamming of the doors Sometimes the river calls me, in the night it calls my name Says put your troubles down beside me Things have always been the same And rock and roll can't teach me, no, what the river said that night I jumped into its beauty and drifted out of sight Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Where did your heart go? Did you put it on a train? Did you leave it in the rain Or down in Mexico, yeah? Yeah yeah yeah (Ah uh ooh ooh uh ooh)
