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 That's just your old rock Rollin' away And I was a rock Standin' strong for you There was nothin' I wouldn't do No matter the cost I was ready to pay Now you say I'm only Holdin' you down Like some old rock You've been draggin' around Yes, I'm a rock But I'm rollin' away I'm rollin' away On a downhill grade I'm gonna come to rest 'Side a mountain we'd love someday And I finally understand When you're restin' In old shifting sand Even rock goes rollin' away And I was a rock Standin' strong for you There was nothin' I wouldn't do No matter the cost I was ready to pay Now you say I'm only Holdin' you down Like some old rock You've been draggin' around Yes, I'm a rock But I'm rollin' away Yes, I'm a rock But I'm rollin' away
