Lyrics Written on My Stone - Sarantos

Written On My Stone

I'm driving my trusty, rusty ol' pickup
Slick black road, slow sun above
Dial says it's hot, knot in my gut
Nasty naggy cramp, can't get back up

Another one of those days
Heart damaged and dazed
Mind caught in a maze
And dreaming of escape

And one day when I drop
I truly believe it'll be
Written on my stone
These're the words you'll see

Here lies a simple man
Worked hard to be all he can
He lived a pretty long life
Did more than a few things right
Humble man who never quit
Work was all he ever did
He was the hardest working son of a bitch
Work was all he ever did

Back when joints didn't ache, mistakes were so few
Things were easy, speedy freaky and new
I bought a few laughs, maps to all I knew
I knew young love, buzz and failure too

Now defeat painted across my face
Heart scared of the race
Mind scared of the pace
Only dreaming lets me escape

And one day when I drop
I truly believe it'll be
Written on my stone
These're the words you'll see

Here lies a simple man
Worked hard to be all he can
He lived a pretty long life
Did more than a few things right
Humble man who never quit
Work was all he ever did
He was the hardest working son of a bitch
Work was all he ever did

Solo

Do you know who was in, in the same boat as me?
A man with few sins, and he was my daddy

And one day when I drop
I truly believe it'll be
Written on my stone
These're the words you'll see

Well here lies a simple man
He worked hard to be all he can
He lived a pretty long life
Did more than a few things right
He was a humble man who never ever quit
Work was all he ever ever did
He was the hardest working son of a bitch
You know he was
Work was all he ever did

End

Written on his stone
Written on my stone
These words will be my own
Written on my stone

Me and my words
Together and alone

Written on my stone
Written on my stone
