Death is death so why go to bother – why use any time to grieve
I’ll make out ok plant me where I lay
But one last breath of life from another might be enough to believe
In the stone that rolls away the stone that rolls away

Love ain’t fair and life is a fuzzle nothing you can peel is black or white
Just when you find the right piece of the puzzle somebody goes
and shoots out the light what a shame
but damn good aim ain’t no one to blame ahhh
listen to what I say that stone gonna roll away

I never read the books that I ought ter – the ones everybody need
I save ‘em for a rainy day, save ‘em for a rainy day
But how can a father talk to his daughter when she gets them all out to read
I guess that’s what I’ll say I save ‘em for your rainy day

History just passed me by well my oh my said don’t even try
Science teacher tied me down me and her goin’ round and round again
Ow! She under my skin so where do I begin uh…huh
Listen to what I say I save ‘em for your rainy day

Davey was a gay with an eye for a rumble – didn’t have a lot to say
But he kept those blues at bay now his stone done rolled away
Never told a lie never have a grumble a good friend a night and day
I talk to him when I pray cause his stone done rolled away

He played a little guitar not no dancer up on stage ain’t no doubt
Late last year he caught up with the cancer
He might be down but he ain’t out
Wait and see listen to me come judgement day
That stone gonna roll away
Stone gonna roll away
Gangway!! Gangway!!
Stone gonna roll away
