And it's there blockin' the road so if you're not very humble Then you're liable to stumble on the big rock in the road There's a big rock in the road and it's there blockin' the road If it's happiness you're seekin' when you're tempted Don't you weaken There's a big rock in the road There's a hole under the rock and there's hard luck in that hole It's the basement of the devil and he's waitin' with a shovel There's a rock in the road Leave the darkness behind you, shine your light up ahead If you don't want trouble to find you change the life that you led There's a big rock in the road And it's there blockin' the road if you favor shady deallin' Then you better do some kneelin' There's a big rock in the road
