10 Rocks - Shelby Lynne
My old friend buried his Mama today
Told me about how he cried bloody tears and prayed
As the preacher shouted loud to believers
The sermon pounded home to redeemers
That's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
When I heard the icy water waves crashing on the shore
Oh the water can't stand the water
When my little baby sister said
She just can't take it no more
When the earth split open and we buried the man
The man that died a demon with a two fisted hand
When the tall green crops drown underneath the rain
Oh it's pouring down
When the memories come and your knees buckle under the pain
When the take back man steals away your soul
Longing in your pockets and you come up cold
When sleep won't come and eyes won't close out the light
Oh the darkness oh the darkness
When you ache for slumber and your eyes
Won't shut out the light
Oh you're lost your way
When the compass leads still lost your way
Nothing left to lose but another day
When god come to meet me
I'll be waiting at the door
How ya doin' so glad to see
When he comes down to seek us
The trial is over gonna go with the lord
Wont' have to worry about my sins no more
And that's heavy brother
