Rock It
Jones George Lyrics

When you wake up in the mornin' and you wonder
As you rise in the morning and find yourself alone in bed, uncertainties flood your mind.

Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
You're confused about the absence of the one you were used to waking up next to.

And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder
You perceive the sound of thunder coming from afar, but it's just an illusion.

Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rolling away.
What you're hearing is just the sound of the artist's presence, which is slowly fading away from your life.

I was a rock standing strong for you
The artist was a pillar of strength for the person they addressed the song to.

For there was nothing that I wouldn't do
No matter the situation, the singer was willing to commit themselves entirely to the other person.

No matter the cost I was ready to pay
The singer was willing to sacrifice everything for the benefit of the other person.

Now you say I'm only holding you down
However, now things have changed, and the other person feels like the artist is the source of their problems and hindering their progress.

Like some old rock you've been draggin' around
To them, the artist is like a burden that must be carried around, like an old rock.

Yes, I'm your old rock (just your old rock) but now I'm rolling away.
While the artist understands that they might have been a burden, they're now on their way out of the other person's life.

I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
The singer is offering a visualization of their exit, a rolling motion down a hill.

But I'm gonna come to rest at a mountain of love someday
Despite the loss, the artist believes that things will eventually work out, and they'll find a new love.

'Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sand
The singer finally understands that when the foundation is unstable, sometimes it is better to leave, and that's okay.

Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rolling away.
Sometimes, even something as solid and sturdy as a rock can't remain in one place forever and must move away.

Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock) now I'm rolling away.
The singer reemphasizes their role in the other person's life and how they're now leaving.
