lirik lagu lee greenwood - rocks that you can't move
e
john moses was a black man
a e
lived half a mile from my grandaddy’s farm
he worked his twenty acres
a b7
with a broke-down mule and muslces in his arms
d
for a can of rc cola
a b7 e
he’d stop and share the widsom of his soul
d
and i’d sit there on that white fence
a e
and listen to the stories that he told
he’d seen the great depression
when a dollar was all a hard day’s work would bring
he’d watched the crosses burning
in a time when freedom didn’t ring
he’d seen w rold where minds were closed
and so many hearts were made of stone
but i never heard a bitter word
when i asked him ’bout the pain that he had known
chorus:
a
he said life is full of fertile ground
d e
but it takes a little rain to make things grow
a
and when it comes to harvest time
d e
we’re all bound to reap just what we sow
a
so the best that i can tell you boy
b7 e
is always do the best that you can do
a
move the rocks and plow your fields
e n/c
and plow between the rocks that you can’t move
now the year we burried grandpa
life had really knocked me to the ground
the woman i loved had left me
and the business i’d built up was shuttin down
i went to see john moses
to talk about the trouble on my mind
but that old farmhouse was covered up
in kudzu and honeysuckle vines
d
i leaned against that rusty fence
b7 e7
and let the past blow through me like the wind
d
and as the sun was sinkin low
b7 e7
i could’ve sworn i heard his voice again
chorus
move the rocks and plow your fields
and plow between the rocks that you can’t move
