Standing on a Rock Songtext

von Rodney Crowell

I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move
Got me something to live for
Got me something to prove
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move

You're a real fine woman
And your heart is strong
You can see right through me
And you laid the law
You don't give me no trouble
And you don't take mine
You ain't the reason I'm livin'
But you're the reason I'm tryin'

I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move
Got me something to live for
Got me something to prove
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move

You don't say nothing bad about nobody
You don't like talkin' out of school
You might not take me for a wiseman
But you sure don't take me for a fool

I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move
Got me something to live for
Got me something to prove
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move

Well I could be happy flying airplanes
I could be happy selling shoes
I could be happy just drinking water, baby
As long as I an drink with you

I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't goin' nowhere
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move
Got me something to live for
Got me something to prove
I'm standing on a rock
And I ain't gonna move
