I been loved and I've been alone
All my life I've been a rolling stone
Done everything that a man can do
Everything to get a hold on you
Done everything that a man can do
Everything to 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 walked through
Only trying to get a hold on you
A wall of fire that I walked through
Only trying to get a hold on you
I saw you waiting at the gate
But I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
But 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 trying to get a hold on you
I've been to China and to Peru
I'm only trying to get a hold on you
Only trying to get a hold on you
