Travis Tritt - Sack Full of Stones lyrics

(Travis Tritt/Marty Stuart) I used to be the kind of guy I could laugh as well as cry With a heart feather-soft and summer-warm Since you've left me I've been faced With emptiness that's been replaced With a heart that's hard and heavy as a sack full of stones I never thought I'd ever see The man my mirror is showing me Lord I must have aged ten years Since you've been gone The longest mile you'll ever crawl Is the one after you fall Draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones With the world upon my shoulders And my feelings on my sleeve Every time I close my eyes at night All I do is watch you leave But by far the biggest curse of being left alone Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones Well I tried turning to a bottle But the bottle turned on me I've tried everything But nothing sets your memory free I'm serving life here in a prison That we once called a home With a heart that's cold and heavy as a sack full of stones With the world upon my shoulders And my feelings on my sleeve Every time I close my eyes at night All I do is watch you leave But by far the biggest curse of being left alone Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones Yes by far the biggest curse of being left alone Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones
