Breaking Rocks Lyrics

[Verse 1]

No one said this would be easy

No one said life would be sane

I've learned from the scrapes and the bleeding

A cot to lay, I'm in the game



[Verse 2]

Been beaten, been bruised, been knocked out my shoes

I've been from so many miles

I'm the trucker, I'm the cook

I hang wire, I'm the book man

For this train, always greet you with a smile



[Chorus]

Breaking rocks sometimes is painful

Breaking rocks, they're all the same

Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling

A broken rock will break the chain



[Verse 3]

I'm a junkie, I'm a crook

I've hurt and I took

I'm sorry, I'll do my best to repay

Been a dark and lonely one

Passed out by the sun

Lost my job, lost my wife, lost my way



[Chorus]

Breaking rocks sometimes is painful

Breaking rocks, they're all the same

Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling

A broken rock will break the chain



[Verse 4]

No one said this would be easy

No one said life would be sane

I've learned from the scrapes and the bleeding

A cot to lay, I'm in the game



[Chorus]

Breaking rocks sometimes is painful

Breaking rocks, they're all the same

Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling

A broken rock will break the chain



[Outro]

Breaking rocks will break the chain

Breaking rocks will break the chain

Breaking rocks will break the chain

(Will break the chain)
