Hate to say it, but She looks happier now In her posts and her photographs Maybe she's better without Hangin' from my love like a marionette Even when I was alone To know she was out there it Kept me warm Now that the sun's goin' down I shiver and shake till tomorrow mornin' 'Cause I'm still out here alone With my thumb out on the side of the road I see you dancin' in my head Every time someone turns on The Rollin' Stones Maybe it's better you're gone Now, I can be lonesome on my own I'm like a dog on the loose Every drink filters through my past And I would forget about you Sometimes I like to pretend I can It's like that merry-go-round Where we used to meet on the Edge of town You'd tell me 'bout your big plans Between drags of your smoke And I'd spin you around and around You'd say someday I'm gonna go Stick out my thumb on the side of the road Make my way to the city Where nobody knows me And live like a rollin' stone Somewhere far from home Where I can be lonesome on my own You were always livin' in the moment I was always clingin' to the past Haunted by things left unspoken There was only so much sand In the hourglass Some things I'll never know Are you happy Did you finally find your own road Someone or someplace you Could call home You were always a rollin' stone Maybe it's better you're gone Now I can be lonesome on my own I can be lonesome on my own
