Rock It
Rockabilly George 'Thumper' Jones Lyrics

When you wake up in the mornin' and you wonder
As you open your eyes and start your day, you question

Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
How come I'm no longer sleeping next to you as I always did

And you think you hear the sound of distant thunder
It seems like you hear a rumbling noise far off in the distance

Well, that's just your old rock (just your old rock) a-rolling away.
But that sound is just me, the rock that you relied on for so long, moving on.

I was a rock standing strong for you
I was your firm foundation, always there for you

For there was nothing that I wouldn't do
I would go to any lengths to support you

No matter the cost I was ready to pay
Financial or emotional, I was willing to bear the burden

Now you say I'm only holding you down
But now you claim that I'm hindering your progress

Like some old rock you've been draggin' around
As if I'm just dead weight, slowing you down

Yes, I'm your old rock (just your old rock) but now I'm rolling away.
The truth is, though, I'm just the same rock, but now I'm moving on.

I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
I'm moving down a slope, gaining momentum as I go

But I'm gonna come to rest at a mountain of love someday
However, I know I'll eventually come to a place of love and stability

'Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sand
I've come to realize that if you're built on an unstable foundation

Well, even a rock (even a rock) will go a-rolling away.
Even I, a rock, will eventually move on from such shaky ground.

Honey, I was your rock (just your old rock) now I'm rolling away.
My dear, although I once was your solid support, now I'm moving on.
