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.
