On the black rock is where I spend my time
Writing a memory or writing a rhyme
Thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where I like to go
After a long night coming home from the show
Thats where I write my songs all day long
The black rock Maryland that is
Sometimes, I just look around
To taking the feeling coming out from the ground
Oh thats just something I do sometimes
And then I just come out this door
Taking the wind coming off of my shore
and thats just what we`re doing tonight
On the black rock is where I spend my time
Writing a memory or writing a rhyme
Thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where I like to go
After a long night coming home from the show
Thats where I write my songs all day long
The black rock
When you are on your own
Not speaking out is like fighting alone
That`s the worst damn way to fight
When you are scared no more
Just reach your hand out open my door
Thats just what we`re doing tonight
On the black rock is where I spend my time
Writing a memory or writing a rhyme
Thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where I like to go
After a long night coming home from my show
Thats where I write my song all day long
The black rock
About one maybe two three four five years ago
Aw when I lived my days full of confusion as you know
It just comes and goes but it leaves me upset all the time
How I was ready to do anything that was wrong
And I was looking for an answer to just one of these questions here
So I went to this riverside to find me head so clear
And I saw this old man sittin on a big black rock
I said what`s your name, he said I`m old man time
And my son well I`ve been waiting for you for long
You see that I can see your ? that are growing in you strong
Oh I can see that you`re hurt and I can see that you`re so vain
But you must listen to this thing I say and live through it all again
You must lose that anger, lose all that hate, it ain`t gonna work no more
I said this world is run by love and absolutely nothing more
So I laid down all my pain and I got rid of my hate
And I love to get away and the black rock is where I stay
We all have a black rock it`s in our minds
And i go there all the time
It`s the black rock
