Hard to know where to begin You don't see the shape you're in
Standing tall while walking on the wire Intentions can be hard to tell
You're always seeming so well Smiling as you set your house on fire
Oh, back out on the road Rolling like a stone
One more night of keeping up the show Going it alone
Until the curtains close And you're back on your own
Easy come, easy go
A gentle voice, a steady hand You learned so well how to
To pretend to know just who you are And where you're going
But if you'd practiced what you preach And listened instead of trying to teach
You'd realize your recklessness is showing You'd realize your recklessness is showing
Oh, back out on the road Rolling like a stone
One more night of keeping up the show
Rolling like a stone
One more night of keeping up the show Going it alone
Until the curtains close And you're back on your own
Easy come, easy go
Oh, back out on the road Rolling like a stone
Winds that bring back memories
The tightrope shakes beneath your feet
Would you even feel the thrill of falling?
Those empty promises you left
And broken hearts filled with regret
Wonder why you're waking up so tired
Oh, back out on the road
Rolling like a stone
One more night of keeping up the show
Going it alone
Until the curtains close
You're back on your own
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
Intentions can be hard to tell
You always seem to mean so well
Smiling as you say
Set your house on fire
