The Rock Leroy Parnell
G G7 C
When you wake up in the morning, and you wonder
G Em D
Why no one's beside you, where I usually lay
G G7 C
And you think you hear the sound of distance thunder
G D G
That's just your old rock, rolling away
Chorus: C
I was your rock, standing strong for you
G
there was nothing I wouldn't do
Em
No matter the cost
D G G7
I was ready to pay
C
Now you say I'm only holding you down
G
Like some old rock
C
You've been dragging around
G
Yes I'm your rock
D G
But I'm rolling away
G G7 C
I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
G Em D
I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain of love some day
G G7 C
"cause I finally understand, if your resting on shifting sands,
G D G
even a rock goes rolling away
Chorus
G D G
Yes I'm your rock, but I'm rolling away
