Lyrics
I met some guys on this camping trip…
They were wise, they were kind, they were hip
They didn’t ask me where I had been
Or judge my life and call it a sin…
Just a rock they handed me,
It has no power over me.
It’s just a rock, no mystery.
There’s nothing in my heart you see.
Hey Yeah!
Like a stone I stood alone,
with Adam’s flesh and Adam’s bone.
I must not let them see me cry,
But if I don’t I’ll surely die.
Hey Yeah!
Life is short, do what you will.
Seeking peace, or seeking thrills.
Loneliness and despair may kill.
But together we can climb them there hills!
Hey Yeah!
It’s not just a rock, they handed me.
It has some power over me!
It’s not just a rock, it’s a mystery
There’s something in my heart I want you to see!
Hey Yeah!
I met some guys on this camping trip…
