You hate old Chicago ,in the winter time

When the cold wind blows right through you

And you said it ain't no fun

You called west a dream come true

Then one week it got the best of you

On a path lying in that Oklahoma sun

Swore if this day ever came

There'd be no strings, no playing games

Misty eyes and sad goodbyes to say

When love is gone why try to put

A finger on what happened

When somewhere down the road

It slipped away

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms

A wedding ring and a simple thing called home

All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway

The sky above and the love of a rolling stone

I remember when you told me

That you'd always be a drifting man

And you didn't need another hungry mouth to feed

And I won't bring a child into a world between roses

And a thorn and the side of a tumbling tumbleweed

One day you may miss me

But I hope you don't feel guilty

Go chase the sun until your dying day

But inside me there's a second little heartbeat

That goes with me

And the one more thing that happened on the way

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms

A wedding ring and a simple thing called home

All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway

The sky above and the love of a rolling stone
