A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss Lyrics

Spent my life on the road chasin' down that pay

Runnin' from town to town never one place to stay

But it took a wise man's words to make me see

That a life on the move ain't where I need to be

Granddad said Son listen close

You'll wear yourself thin tryin' to do the most

A rolling stone gathers no moss

So think 'bout all the things you've lost

I used to chase the money across this land

Whether haulin' loads or workin' with my hands

But I never set roots never called a place home

Just a highway rider always alone

Granddad said Boy you'll pay the cost

A rolling stone gathers no moss

Now I understand what he was tryin' to say

There's more to life than just gettin' paid

I've seen every city light every road sign flash

From the oil fields to the truck stop stash

I thought I had it made livin' free

But those miles get heavy when there's no family

You see the money comes fast but the years go quick

And you start to realize that life's more than the lick

A house a home a place to belong

Starts feelin' like somethin' I've been missin' all along

Granddad said Son listen close

You'll wear yourself thin tryin' to do the most

A rolling stone gathers no moss

So think 'bout all the things you've lost

I used to chase the money across this land

Whether haulin' loads or workin' with my hands

But I never set roots never called a place home

Just a highway rider always alone

Granddad said Boy you'll pay the cost

A rolling stone gathers no moss

Now I understand what he was tryin' to say

There's more to life than just gettin' paid

Kept runnin' down that dream chasin' every dime

But every day felt like wastin' time

Didn't know what I was missin' till I slowed down

Realized I'd never built anything on solid ground

Now I'm lookin' at life with different eyes

Home ain't just a place it's where love ties

You can roam all you want but take it from me

If you don't set roots you'll never be free

Now I've got a front porch a house that's mine

Family around and I'm feelin' just fine

Granddad's words echo every day

Remindin' me what I almost threw away

I used to chase the money across this land

Whether haulin' loads or workin' with my hands

But I never set roots never called a place home

Just a highway rider always alone

Granddad said Boy you'll pay the cost

A rolling stone gathers no moss

Now I understand what he was tryin' to say

There's more to life than just gettin' paid

Now I'm settin' roots I've found my place

No more runnin' from the same old race

Granddad was right it's worth the cost

A rolling stone gathers no moss
