The Rock - Tracy Lawrence

When you were lost and needed help

I hoped you would have turned to me

And when you couldn’t save yourself

I watched you drowned that misery

I’ve seen the damage you have done

Every teardrop and misstep

You know I could have saved you some

I’m the book you never read

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2

Your grandma swears that I am the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I’m like a member of the family

Three generations have handed me down

I’m in the drawer by your bed

I’m the book you never read

I can’t take the first step for you

But when you take that step you’ll find

You are the key, I am the door to

Forgiveness and some peace of mind and you know

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2

Your grandma swears that I am the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I’m like a member of the family

Three generations have handed me down

And despite that is all they’ve said

I’m still the book you never read

So when the world treats you unkindly

And your heart is heavy with regret

That’s when I wish you would find me

I’m the book you’ve never read

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2

Your grandma swears that I am the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I’m like a member of the family

Three generations have handed me down

I’m in the drawer by your bed

I’m still book you never read, you’ve never read
