The Rock - Etta James

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
