Rock and a Hard Place

Between a rock and a hard place

Whether I like or not I'm digging my grave

Friends ask me why I choose to stay

Between a rock and a hard place

I ain't getting younger now

I'm fading like a setting sun

I ain't strong like I was when I was young

But for all the things I lost

There are a few I've gained

Most came between a rock and a hard place

Maybe I want to stare death in face

Pound my chest and scream, I ain't afraid

Truth is I'm beaten down and broken from all the weight

Pushing me to trade my guilt for grace

I ain't getting younger now

I'm fading like a setting sun

I ain't strong like I was when I was young

But for all the things I lost

There are a few I've gained

Most came between a rock and a hard place

A hard place

A hard place

So when you lay me down to rest in peace

Set my tombstone flat on top of my grave

So forever my body will lay between

A rock and a hard place

I ain't getting younger now

I'm fading like a setting sun

I ain't strong like I was when I was young

But for all the things I lost

There are a few I've gained

Most came between a rock and a hard place
