Lyrics

I got stones in my passway
And my road seems dark as night
I got stones in my passway
And my road seems dark as night
I got pain in my heart
That have taken my appetite
I have a bird to whistle
And I have a bird to sing
I have a bird to whistle
And I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin'
Boy, but she don't mean a thing
My enemies have betrayed me
Have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me
Have overtaken poor Bob at last
And then one thing certain
They had stones gone in my past
Now you tryin' to take my life
And all my lovin' too
You laid a passway for me
Now what are you trying to do?
And I'm cryin' please
Please let us be friends
And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider
Please open your door and let me in
I got three leg's to truck home
Boys, please don't lock my road
I got three leg's to truck home
Boys, please don't block my road
I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider
But I'm booked and I got to go
