Written on My Stone - Sarantos

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

Prechorus 1

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

Prechorus 2

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

Do you know who was in, in the same boat as me?

A man with few sins, and he was my daddy

Prechorus 3

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
