George Jones - The Rock lyrics

When you wake up in the mornin' and you wonder

Why no one's beside you where I usually lay

And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder

Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rolling away.

I was a rock standing strong for you

For there was nothing that I wouldn't do

No matter the cost I was ready to pay

Now you say I'm only holding you down

Like some old rock you've been draggin' around

Yes, I'm your old rock (just your old rock) but now I'm rolling away.

I'm rolling away on a downhill grade

But I'm gonna come to rest at a mountain of love someday

'Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sand

Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rolling away.

I was a rock standing strong for you

No, there was nothing that I wouldn't do

No matter the cost I was ready to pay

Now you say I'm only holding you down

Like some old rock you've been draggin' around

Yes, I was your old rock (just your old rock) but I'm a-rolling away.

Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock) now I'm rolling away...
