The rock of my soul went to church on sunday,
F#mThe rock of my soul went to work on monday,
AClean across the leves by the railroad tracks,
The other side of houston in a two room shack.
DSweeping out confetti from a third grade classroom,
F#mThe rock of my soul pushed a dust mop broom.
The rock of my soul didn't have much luck,
F#mHe came to town grinnin on a flat bed truck.
AThe rock of my soul didn't have much charm,
With the lack of eductaion on a red dirt farm.
DHe was fond of disapearing on an eight day drunk,
F#mComing Home smelling like a low down skunk.
and he said.... (Start Strum)
Do like I say, not like I do and you might make me proud.
G F#m D AAnother Houston kid on a downhill skid for crying out loud.
(Back to Pickin)
I'm a first hand witness to an age old crime,
F#mA man who hits a woman isn't worth a dime.
A5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years old,
Thats what I remember about the rock of my soul.
DI told him I would kill him if he did not stop it,
F#mBut the rock of my soul just would not drop it.
G
I learned to lie like dirt,
I could steal your shirt and , talk with a gun.
G F#m D AAnother Houston kid on a downhill skid like father like son.
A
Now I got out of prison 'bout a year ago,
F#mSeven long years really went by slow.
I didn't kill my daddy but my momma tried,
F#mShe shot him with a pistol and he like to a died.
DI'm on probation living straight and true,
and there's every indication that the past is through.
D AThat's all I know, 'bout the rock of my soul.
