“What The Rocks Don’t Know”
(Carlisle)

After twenty nine years I can say
I never thought it’d turn out this way
I stumble and I stutter, stutter and I cry
Ain’t’ gonna figure out a reason why
Song hurts my throat, banjo cuts my side
I hear the road cryin’ out through the railroad ties
Road cryin’ out through the railroad ties

Well love your light don’t show
Down by the truck stop highway glow
Lord knows where I’ll go
When the road cries out what the rocks don’t know
Road cries out what the rocks
don’t know

All my friends in Arkansas all alone in Maine
Six to one half dozen’s the same
Back bay sailor on the great divide
Mississippi deep, Rappahannock wide
Angel’s wings on a Walmart sign
Angel’s wings on a Walmart
sign

Well love your light don’t show
Down by the truck stop highway glow
Lord knows where I’ll go
When the road cries out what the rocks don’t know
Road cries out what the rocks
don’t know

Kansas City rib shack baby your mine
Give me the cow
the pig and the swine
My weight’s my love my shimmy my
shine
Damn I found Jesus in a barbecue line
Damn I found Jesus in a barbecue
line

Well love your light don’t show
Down by the truck stop highway glow
Lord knows where I’ll go
When the road cri
es out what the rocks don’t know
Road cries out what the rocks don’t know

I’d like to see the world in living color
One color’s just the absence of the
other
To get the whole spectrum of horror and elation
Call good time numbers at
a Conoco station
Good time numbers at a Conoco station

Well love your light don’t show
Down by the truck stop highway glow
Lord knows where I’ll go
When the road cries out what the rocks don’t know
Road cries out what the rocks
don’t know

Well love your light
don’t show
Down by the truck stop highway glow
Lord knows where I’ll go
When the road cries out what the rocks don’t know
Road cries out what the rocks
don’t know
