"Stone" lyrics

"Stone"

I've worked double shifts and overtime to pay the bills
And gave up on my dreams when life got real
And through all the blood, sweat and tears, and the whiskey
Something hit me

It's seein' my little boy take his first steps
It's holdin' my baby close to me
Through a thousand windshield sunsets
It's packin' up that college Chevy
And wavin' him down the road
A few of the things that'll matter most
When my name is written in stone

It ain't all that cash saved up in the bank
Or that big ol' wrap around house at the end of the lane
I've been tryin' to find answers at the bottom of a drink
Then it hits me

It's seein' my little boy take his first steps
It's holdin' my baby close to me
Through a thousand windshield sunsets
It's walkin' my daughter down the aisle
And givin' her away
A few of the things that'll matter most
When my name is written in stone

It's seein' my little boy take his first steps
It's holdin' my baby close to me
Through a thousand windshield sunsets
It's buyin' her roses and openin' her doors
As we grow grey and old
A few of the things that'll matter most
These are the things that'll matter most
When my name is written in stone
Written in stone
