Rolling Stone
Whiskey Myers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way your lips move across your little fingers with your innocent starry-eyed stare .
Girl you best leave me alone you want what you can't have is all and I ain't what you need and it ain't fair
No I ain't what you need and it ain't fair

I been sinking down for so long baby come on there ain't nothing left for me out on these highways that I roam if all I'm doing is leaving ya crying alone I'm coming home I'm all yours baby I ain't no rolling stone

That ole moonlight has always called me to leaving, dusty bars and chasing stars all through the night
One more drink and one more song but now that hollow feelings gone cause girl you got them stars up in your eyes
Yea girl you got them stars up in your eyes





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Whiskey Myers's song "Rolling Stone" describe the struggle of a man torn between his wandering spirit and his desire to settle down with a woman who loves him. The opening lines paint a picture of the woman's innocent and captivating beauty, and the man is clearly attracted to her. However, he knows deep down that he can't give her what she wants - a stable relationship - because he is always on the move, traveling from place to place and chasing his dreams. He acknowledges that it's not fair to her to lead her on, knowing that he can't commit to her.


The chorus of the song echoes this sentiment, with the man singing about his weariness of life on the road and his desire to come home to the woman he loves. He recognizes that he's been sinking for a long time and that he has nothing to show for it, except for his restlessness and the pain he's caused her. But he declares that he's ready to change and that he wants to be with her - he's no longer a rolling stone, but committed to her.


Overall, "Rolling Stone" is a heartfelt and poignant ode to the struggle of balancing one's wanderlust with the desire for love and connection.

I've always been attracted to the open road and the freedom it provides, the night sky and all its beauty always calls me to keep moving on.


One more drink and one more song but now that hollow feelings gone cause girl you got them stars up in your eyes
I used to drink and play music to distract myself from my loneliness, but now that I have you, that feeling is gone because you have a bright, hopeful sparkle in your eyes.


Yea girl you got them stars up in your eyes
You have a bright, hopeful sparkle in your eyes that tells me you're full of life and excitement.
