If I Was a Rolling Stone

~ Lyrics ~

Hey Dad I’m not built to be a college man 

Hey Mom I don’t expect you to understand 

The golden child yeah that’s not who I am 

And I’m sorry to disappoint and I don’t when I can 

But...

All I ever wanted was your pride and your respect 

And your acknowledgment to notice when I did my very best

But I changed course their my own actions 

What hurts the most I know you don’t support them 

And maybe I’ll never get the degree that you want for me

But honestly I have no plan b so I’m sorry 

If you ever let me sleep I would finely find my dream

But if this works I’ll give you everything 

So am I wrong for pursuing a silly dream

Cause at the end of the day I’m the one that has to love me 

And yeah I know how crazy it seems

And understand it’s not all it’s not all I think 

And I’m sorry if that means I have to go 

But I thought you should know 

If I was a rolling stone

I'd never let you go

Take my heart and soul

There's nowhere we can't go

But if you walked away

I'd get there either way

If I was a rolling stone

I'd finally have my dream

I'd never be alone

And you'd be proud of me

But if you walked away

I know that'd be okay

If I was a rolling stone 

Who cares if I’m poor just as long as I’m happy 

But I could give you everything it’d be easy to love me 

That’s all I’ve ever wanted, that’s all I’ve ever dreamed

That’s all I’ve ever had and all I’ll ever need

We won’t have to worry about the rent no more 

And we won’t be scared when the the bills at the door 

And we could finally buy good food from the store

Think of all the things we could finally afford 

See, You wouldn’t have to budget just to buy us jeans 

And we could watch movies on big screens

And you wouldn’t wake up crying in your sleep 

And we could have present’s underneath the tree 

But if you don’t get it I get it that’s fine 

But it’s high time I live my own life 

And dad you could finally be proud of me 

For giving my self to a “silly” dream 

And I’m sorry if that means you have to go

But I just thought you should know 

If I was a rolling stone

I'd never let you go

Take my heart and soul

There's nowhere we can't go

But if you walked away

I'd get there either way

If I was a rolling stone

I'd finally have my dream

I'd never be alone

And you'd be proud of me

But if you walked away

I know that'd be okay

If I was a rolling stone 

And I’m sorry if that means I have to go

But I just thought you should know 

If I was a rolling stone

I'd never let you go

Take my heart and soul

There's nowhere we can't go

But if you walked away

I'd get there either way

If I was a rolling stone

I'd finally have my dream

I'd never be alone

And you'd be proud of me

But if you walked away

I know that'd be okay

If I was a rolling stone
