Verse 1:
It rolled off the table, and it rolled out the door,
A meatball I cherished, not just food, but much more.
It danced 'cross the kitchen, took a spin on the floor,
Now it’s gone forever, ain’t that just folklore?

Chorus:
Oh, meatball, you were mine, now you’re rollin’ free,
Somewhere past the porch light where I can’t see.
Maybe in the garden, or under the pine,
Lost but not forgotten, oh meatball of mine.

Verse 2:
The sauce was still simmering, the spaghetti laid bare,
I looked high and low, but you weren’t anywhere.
Mama said, “It’s just supper,” but she just didn’t know,
That meatball was special, why’d it have to go?

Chorus:
Oh, meatball, you were mine, now you’re rollin’ free,
Somewhere past the porch light where I can’t see.
Maybe in the garden, or under the pine,
Lost but not forgotten, oh meatball of mine.

Bridge:
Maybe you’ve found a new home in the yard,
Feeding some critter who was wishin' on a star.
I guess there’s a lesson, in how you rolled away,
Nothing lasts forever, no matter what you say.

Verse 3:
The table’s now empty, the night’s drawing in,
I pour out some wine, think of where you've been.
If you're out there rolling, just know you left a mark,
In the heart of a cowboy, under stars in the dark.

Chorus:
Oh, meatball, you were mine, now you’re rollin’ free,
Somewhere past the porch light where I can’t see.
Maybe in the garden, or under the pine,
Lost but not forgotten, oh meatball of mine.

Outro:
So here’s to you, my meatball, wherever you may be,
Part of you’s still with me, part of my recipe.
Life’s a little emptier without you on my plate,
My meatball in the wind, rolled off to its fate.
