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
