10 Rocks

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

Oh the water can't stand the water

When the earth split open and we buried the man

The man that died a demon with a two fisted hand

That's heavy brother

Heavy as 10 rocks

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

Oh it's pouring down

When the take back man steals away your soul

Longing in your pockets and you come up cold

That's heavy brother

Heavy as 10 rocks

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

That's heavy brother

Heavy as 10 rocks

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

I'll be waiting at the door

How ya doin' so glad to see

The trial is over gonna go with the lord

Wont' have to worry about my sins no more

And that's heavy brother

Heavy as 10 rocks

And that's heavy brother

Heavy as 10 rocks
