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
Thats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
When I heard the icy water waves crashing on the shore(oh the water, cant stand the water)
When my little baby said she just cant take it no more(oh the water, cant stand the water)
When the earth split open and we buried the man (oooooooh)
The man that died a demon with a two-fisted hand
Thats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
When the tall green crops drown underneath the rain(oh its pouring down)
When the memories come and your knees buckle under the pain(oh its pouring down)
When the take-back man steals away your soul ( oooooohhhh)
Longing in your pockets and you come up cold
Thats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
When sleep wont come and eyes wont shut out the light(oh the darkness, oh the darkness)
When you ache for slumber and your eyes wont close out the light(oh youre lost your way)
When the compass leads, still lost your way
Nothing left to lose but another day
Thats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
When God come to meet me
Ill be waiting at the door(how ya doin so glad to see ya)
When He comes down to seek us
Ill be waiting at the door(how ya doin so glad to see ya)
The trial is over gonna go with the
Lord (ooooohhhh)
Wont have to worry about my sins no more
Andthats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
And thats heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks
