There's a Big Rock in the Road Songtext

von Bob Wills

There's a big rock in the road and it's there blockin' the road
Lots of careless folks have found it so you better get around it
There's a big rock in the road

There's a hole under the rock and its cold under the rock
And they say if you fall in that your life won't last a minute
There's a big rock in the road

Leave the darkness behind you, shine your light up ahead
If you don't want trouble to find you change the life that you led
There's a big rock in the road.

And it's there blockin' the road so if you're not very humble
Then you're liable to stumble on the big rock in the road

There's a big rock in the road and it's there blockin' the road
If it's happiness you're seekin' when you're tempted
Don't you weaken
There's a big rock in the road

There's a hole under the rock and there's hard luck in that hole
It's the basement of the devil and he's waitin' with a shovel
There's a rock in the road

Leave the darkness behind you, shine your light up ahead
If you don't want trouble to find you change the life that you led
There's a big rock in the road

And it's there blockin' the road if you favor shady deallin'
Then you better do some kneelin'
There's a big rock in the road
