Stone

You sat as still as one at the dinner table

With nothing to say after grace

You were hard as one 'cause you had to be

Yeah, the oldest ones turn out that way

And if I had me one for every time you let me down

I'd build a wall

I guess I did

Yeah, you taught me all about which ones sink

Which ones skip

But there's throwin' ones

And rollin' ones

Gettin' us to open up was like gettin' blood from one

The steppin' kind

The steady kind

The, "Hey, I've got your back," ones you can stand behind

I'm just now findin' out now that you're gone

We were cut from the same stone

I sway like you

When I get nervous

I'm shy like you, but most folks couldn't tell

I get the same shade of red as you did when I'm angry

I'm red right now 'cause I'm mad as hell

At the throwin' ones

The rollin' ones

Gettin' us to open up was like gettin' blood from one

The steppin' kind

The steady kind

The, "Hey, I've got your back," ones you can stand behind

I'm just now findin' out now that you're gone

We were cut from the same stone

Yeah, there's a lot of things that should be written in one

But your name ain't one of 'em

So I carry one

And it's a heavy one

I'm just now findin' out now that you're gone

We were cut from the same stone

The same stone
