Rock N' A Hard Place

I've waited twice as long as any man should

To tell you how I feel

You gathered in my chosen words

And ground them underneath your heel

I asked you for a bit of time

A little breathin' space

But your gift to me was

A rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go)

Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow)

Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place

I laid too high a stake on lovin' you, babe

To let you say goodbye

How could you think I'd last alone?

I can't go on

There's no use tryin'

I'm askin' for a second chance

A little savin' grace

You're leavin' me between

A rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go)

Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow)

Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place

Won't you tell me why

You're leavin' tonight

Throwin' our love away?

Don't you see my plight?

It just isn't right

To be left this way

I've waited twice as long as any man should

To tell you how I feel

You gathered in my chosen words

And ground them underneath your heel

I asked you for a bit of time

A little breathin' space

But your gift to me was

A rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go)

Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow)

Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go)

Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow)

Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard place
