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 
All the fire that I’ve walked through 
Only tryin’ to get a hold on you 
All the 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 beaten but 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
