lyrics version 1
Woo
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie well he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll
Oh he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Ah-ow-yow
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my mind is blown, my head has grown
A solid rock ain't a rolling stone
Wowie zowie well the cat's got soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well, he's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)
He's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)
You know he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I wanna tell you
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie well he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal

lyrics version 9
Lost and blind then a friend of mine
Come and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
I've been so blessed, he made me rest
I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Good for the body, great for the soul
The rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
Going nowhere fast
On the road, so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know, I'm not the same, just rearranged
I think of my past, ??? I feel so strange
Wowie zowie that cat got soul
Rock that doesn't roll
Oh he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Good for the body, great for the soul
Rock that doesn't roll
???
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road, so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know I feel so good, just like I knew I would
??? I feel so good, so good
Wowie zowie he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Wellhe's the rock that doesn't roll (keep on rocking)
He's the rock that doesn't roll (keep on rolling)
Good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't

You've got to rock me on the water
You've got to rock me from my grave
You've got to rock me till I'm feeling good
You've got to rock me till I'm, rock me till I'm saved
Ow I wanna tell you

Good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I wanna tell you

You know he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on that road so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yeah that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll
Your turn [Spoken]
(Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll woo
He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll)
Oww
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
(He's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't)
You've got to rock me on the water
Rock me from my grave
Rock me till I'm feeling good
You've got to rock me till I'm saved
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for our body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I wanna tell you
He's the rock (that doesn't roll)
Keep on rocking
(He's the rock that doesn't roll)
Keep on rolling
Good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Baan
"This is a primal introduction for the album [In Another Land]; a traditional blues-based rock song to reinforce Larry's contention that rock and roll came from the black church and belonged to God before the white pop stars debased it."
