[00:14.37] Delta mama and a Nickajack man
[00:16.61]
[00:19.61] Raised their Cumberland daughter in a Tennessee band
[00:22.60]
[00:25.97] Played Springwater at Station Inn
[00:28.78] Couldn't play fast, couldn't fit in
[00:31.03]
[00:33.59] Caught a '66 Dodge in Caroline
[00:36.02]
[00:39.77] Got her education on her mama's dime
[00:42.39]
[00:45.01] She was singing in a bar called Comatose
[00:48.13] Halfway rusted on the salty coast
[00:50.75]
[00:52.56] Rock of Ages, cleave for me
[00:56.61]
[00:58.05] Let me hide myself in Thee
[01:02.48]
[01:04.16] Buried in the sand
[01:06.91]
[01:08.47] Five hundred miles from Birmingham
[01:14.40]
[01:19.26] Rock 'em out cowboy in a rock and roll band
[01:22.51] Plugged his amplifier in all across the land
[01:25.13]
[01:27.63] Athens, Georgia on a friday night
[01:30.18] Saw that little girl, she could sing alright
[01:32.99]
[01:35.30] Spent five years going from town to town
[01:38.36] Waiting on that little girl to come around
[01:40.98]
[01:43.66] Caught in the arms of New York City
[01:46.35] To lose that gal seemed terrible pity
[01:48.84]
[01:50.78] Rock of Ages, cleave for me
[01:54.71]
[01:56.21] Let my heart forget a beat
[02:00.45]
[02:02.20] Why do you demand
[02:05.26]
[02:07.38] Calling me from Birmingham
[02:12.31]
[02:17.92] Pulled her covered wagon off the BQE
[02:20.36] Said this'll be the last you'll ever see of me
[02:23.10]
[02:25.41] Well the cowboy laughed said I know it's not true
[02:28.33] Cause there's nothing I could do to get loose from you
[02:31.39]
[02:37.00] Made a little money playing in the bars
[02:39.19] With two beat up drums and two old guitars
[02:41.88]
[02:44.62] From the Crescent City to the Great Salt Lake
[02:47.31] It ain't what you got, it's what you make
[02:50.01]
[03:11.60] When the road got rough and the wheels all broke
[03:15.34]
[03:18.02] Couldn't take more then we could tow
[03:21.96]
[03:24.83] Making something out of nothing with a scratcher and our hope
[03:28.26] With two old guitars like a shovel and a rope
[03:30.72]
[03:32.41] Rock of Ages, cleave for me
[03:36.40]
[03:37.83] Let me hide myself in Thee
[03:42.64]
[03:44.20] Now I understand
[03:47.44]
[03:48.57] On better terms since Birmingham
[03:55.18]
[03:56.12]
