Lyrics
UNKNOWN STONE
LYRICS BY PAUL MASK & RANDY K. BROWN
VERSE 1
MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS LATE ONE NIGHT
FOUND MYSELF WALKIN, MOON WAS BRIGHT
SCARY OLD GRAVEYARD?WAS THE NEAREST WAY HOME
JUMPED THE FENCE, LOST MY BALANCE, NEARLY LANDED ON
CHORUS
UNKNOWN STONE
WEEDS HAD GROWN UP HIGH, CARVING WAS OLD
UNKNOWN STONE
FORSAKEN, HEART BREAKIN?, NO STORY TOLD
NO NAME, NO DATE, JUST GRANITE AND COLD
AIN?T NOTHIN? SADDER THAN AN UNKNOWN STONE
VERSE 2
NEXT DAY I ASKED AROUND, NOBODY KNEW
OLD COURTHOUSE BURNED, VITAL RECORDS DID TOO
A STILL-BORN BABY OR AN OLD HOBO
DID ANYBODY MORN THAT LONELY SOUL?
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
I SAID TO MYSELF, THAT WON?T HAPPEN TO ME
STARTIN? RIGHT NOW, I?M LEAVIN? GOOD MEMORIES
I?LL BE A BETTER MAN, A CARING SOUL
A LIFE WELL-LIVED, WRITTEN ON MY STONE
FINAL CHORUS
UNKNOWN STONE
WEEDS HAD GROWN UP HIGH, CARVING WAS OLD
UNKNOWN STONE
FORSAKEN, HEART BREAKIN? NO STORY TOLD
NO NAME, NO DATE, JUST GRANITE AND COLD
AIN?T NOTHIN? SADDER THAN AN UNKNOWN STONE
