Davey and the Stone That Rolled Away

I'll get this jet so why go to bother?
Why use any time to grieve?
I may got okay
Land me where I lay
But one last breath of life from another
Might be enough to believe
In the stone that rolls away
The stone that rolls away

Love ain't fair and life is a mother
Nothing you can feel is black and white
Just when you find the right piece of the puzzle
Somebody goes and shoots down the light
What a shame
But damn good aim
And no one to blame
Listen to what I say
And that stone's gonna roll away

I never read the books that I oughta
The ones everybody needs
I save 'em for a rainy day
Save 'em for a rainy day
But how can a father talk to his daughter
When she gets 'em all out to read?
I guess that's what I'll say
I saved 'em for your rainy day

History just passed me by
Well, my old math's sayin' don't even try
Science teacher turned me down
Well, me and her go 'round and 'round again
Ah, she's under my skin
So where do I begin?
Oh, yeah, listen to what I say
I saved 'em for your rainy day

David was a guy with an eye for rumble
Didn't have a lot to say
But he kept those blues at bay
Now his stone done rolled away
He never told a lie and never had a grumble
A good friend night and day
I talk to him when I pray
'Cause his stone done rolled away

He played a little guitar, not no dancer
Up on stage, there ain't no doubt
Played last year, he caught up with the cancer
He might be gone but he ain't out
Wait and see
Ah, listen to me
Come judgment day
That stone's gonna roll away

Stone's gonna roll away
Gangway, gangway
Stone's gonna roll away
