Roll The Stone Away Lyrics

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Roll The Stone Away

You can swim in this old river
It's been delivered since the factory shut down
And like the river I'm waiting for resurrection
Since I've lost your affection and love left town

There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away

We were good but we could have been better
And the best is what we're after when it comes right down to love
You were always the strong one bright as the setting sun
Go shine somewhere else my love some brand new world

There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away

And like that river I'm waiting for resurrection
Since I've lost your affection and love left town

There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone, roll that stone
Roll that stone away, ooh, hey
