Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Pack all your things

We're gonna be leavin'

Sooner than I thought

Take the things you bought

Clouds are gathering

[Verse 2]

Say goodbye to all your friends

We're gonna be sorry

For a while that's how it goes

But then again, who knows

About the rain

[Chorus]

I'm steppin' out

I'm movin' on

I'm gonna see the world

Like a rolling stone

Steppin' out

I'm gonna be somebody

Ooh, I'm stepping out

[Verse 3]

Did he hear what he said?

He said they sold me down the river

They thought, I thought I was a fool

They said the rain would fall

What did they know?

[Verse 4]

Then I saw your face

Heard the song that you were singin'

Though I thought I knew the words

The tune was quite absurd

And out of key

Doo-da-da-dee

[Chorus]

I'm steppin' out

I'm movin' on

I'm gonna see the world

Like a rollin' stone

Steppin' out

I'm gonna be somebody

Ooh, I'm steppin' out

[Refrain]

I'm stepping out, I'm steppin' out

I'm stepping out, I'm steppin' out

I'm stepping out, I'm steppin' out

I'm stepping out, I'm steppin' out

[Bridge]

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out

Steppin' out

Steppin' out

Steppin' out

[Outro]

Don't know where I'm goin'

Gonna see the world

Gonna be somebody

Don't know where I'm goin'

I'm just steppin' out

I'm steppin' out

I'm steppin' out
