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
