"I'm A Rock" lyrics

I ain't too sure why I'm the one that you chose
There's better man than me, like just a couple miles up the road, my dear
I don't know why you wanna keep me so close
I'm a rock, I'm a stone, I can't feel good to hold

I'm skin and bones, and dirty clothes
A case of beer and a pack of smokes
Ain't got no magic deep inside of me
Just blood and guts, and rock n' roll
I'm always tired, sometimes I'm stoned
I'm full of fire and freezing cold
I'm heavy as a ton of lead
Don't pick me up, you know

That I'm a rock, I'm just like my dad
And pops is just like his old man
And all of us have ended up the same, o-oh
You grow up, happens so damn fast
In the wind between the blades of grass
Someday my kids will probably do the same, o-oh
I'm a man, I'm a rock
Here I am, just like my pops
I'm skin and bones, I'm cold and hot
I'm hard to hold
Babe, I'm a rock, I'm a rock, babe

I ain't too sure if I'm the one that you want
I broke a million hearts, my dear, don't need a million in one, you know
I don't know why you want to hold me so tight
I'm a rock, I'm a stone, touchin' me don't feel right

I'm skin and bones, and dirty clothes
Got bad tattoos from head to toe
Got no stories left inside of me
Just blood and guts, and rock n' roll
I'm always high, sometimes I'm low
I'm calm as hell 'til I explode
I'm heavy as a ton of bricks
Don't pick me up, you know

That I'm a rock, I'm just like my dad
And Pops is just like his old man
And all of us have ended up the same, o-oh
You grow up, happens so damn fast
In the wind between the blades of grass
Someday my kids will probably do the same, o-oh
I'm a man, I'm a rock
Here I am just like my pops
I'm skin and bones, I'm cold and hot
I'm hard to hold
Babe, I'm a rock, I'm a rock, babe

One day you're young, and then 15 years have passed
And you step out of the shadow that your father had cast
Then you realize that it ain't so bad to be a rock
Be a man, to be just like your dad

'Cause I'm a rock, I'm just like my dad
And Pops is just like his old man
And all of us have ended up the same, o-oh
You grow up, happens so damn fast
In the wind between the blades of grass
Someday my kids will probably do the same, o-oh
I'm a man, I'm a rock
Here I am, just like my pops
I'm skin and bones, I'm cold and hot
I'm hard to hold
Babe, I'm a rock, I'm a rock, babe
