Lyric Sack Full Of Stones

(Travis Tritt/Marty Stuart)

I used to be the kind of guy
I could laugh as well as cry
With a heart feather-soft and summer-warm
Since you ve left me I ve been faced
With emptiness that s been replaced
With a heart that s hard and heavy as a sack full of stones

I never thought I d ever see
The man my mirror is showing me
Lord I must have aged ten years
Since you ve been gone
The longest mile you ll ever crawl
Is the one after you fall
Draggin around a heart that s heavy as a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders
And my feelings on my sleeve
Every time I close my eyes at night
All I do is watch you leave
But by far the biggest curse of being left alone
Is draggin around a heart that s heavy as a sack full of stones

Well I tried turning to a bottle
But the bottle turned on me
I ve tried everything
But nothing sets your memory free
I m serving life here in a prison
That we once called a home
With a heart that s cold and heavy as a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders
And my feelings on my sleeve
Every time I close my eyes at night
All I do is watch you leave
But by far the biggest curse of being left alone
Is draggin around a heart that s heavy as a sack full of stones
Yes by far the biggest curse of being left alone
Is draggin around a heart that s heavy as a sack full of stones
