10 Rocks

My old friend buried his Mama todayTold me about how he cried bloody tears and prayedAs the preacher shouted loud to believersThe sermon pounded home to redeemersThat's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocks(oh the water, can't stand the water)When my little baby said she just can't take it no more(oh the water, can't stand the water)When the earth split open and we buried the man (oooooooh)The man that died a demon with a two-fisted handThat's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocksWhen the tall green crops drown underneath the rain(oh it's pouring down)When the memories come and your knees buckle under the pain(oh it's pouring down)When the take-back man steals away your soul (oooooohhhh)Longing in your pockets and you come up coldThat's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocksWhen sleep won't come and eyes won't shut out the light(oh the darkness, oh the darkness)When you ache for slumber and your eyes won't close out the light(oh you're lost your way)When the compass leads, still lost your wayNothing left to lose but another dayThat's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocksWhen God come to meet me I'll be waiting at the door(how ya doin' so glad to see ya)When He comes down to seek us I'll 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 moreAnd that's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocksAnd that's heavy brotherHeavy as 10 rocks
