Etta James - The Rock lyrics

When you wake up In the morning and you wonder Why no one's beside you where I usually lay And you think you hear The sound of a distant thunder It's just your old rock rolling away I was your rock standing strong for you There was nothing I wouldn't do No matter the cost I was ready to pay Now you say I'm only holding you down Like some old rock you've been dragging around Yes, I'm your rock but I'm rolling away I'm rolling away on a downhill grade But I'm coming to rest side A mountain of love some day 'Cause I finally understand If you're resting on shifting sands Even a rock goes rolling away And I was your rock standing strong for you There was nothing I wouldn't do No matter the cost I was ready to pay Oh now you say I'm only holding you down Like some old rock you've been dragging around Yes, I'm your rock and I'm rolling away
