Rocks That You Can't Move (Instrumental)

Rocks That You Can't Move (Originally Performed by Lee Greenwood) (Instrumental Only) - Singer's Edge Karaoke (卡拉OK)

John Moses was a black man

Lived half a mile from my grandaddy's farm

He worked his twenty acres

With a broke-down mule and muslces in his arms

For a can of RC Cola

He'd stop and share the widsom of his soul

And I'd sit there on that white fence

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 world 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

He said life is full of fertile ground

But it takes a little rain to make things grow

And when it comes to harvest time

We're all bound to reap just what we sow

So the best that I can tell you boy

Is always do the best that you can do

Move the rocks and plow your fields

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 shutting 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

I leaned against that rusty fence

And let the past blow through me like the wind

as the sun was sinking low

I could've sworn I heard his voice again

He said life is full of fertile ground

But it takes a little rain to make things grow

And when it comes to harvest time

We're all bound to reap just what we sow

So the best that I can tell you boy

Is always do the best that you can do

Move the rocks and plow your fields

And plow between the rocks that you can't move

Move the rocks and plow your fields

And plow between the rocks that you can't move

John Moses was a good man

Lived half a mile from my grandaddy's farm
