Lyrics of The rock of my soul

The rock of my soul went to church on sunday
The rock of my soul went to work on monday
Clean across the levee by the railroad tracks
The other side of houston in a two-room shack
Sweeping out confetti from a third grade classroom
The rock of my soul pushed a dustmop broom
The rock of my soul didn't have much luck
He came to town a grinnin' on a flat-bed truck
The rock of my soul didn't have much charm
With a lack of education on a red dirt farm
He was fond of disappearing on an eight day drunk
Coming home smelling lke a lowdown skunk

And he said...
Do like i say, not like i do and you might make me proud
Another houston kid on a downhill skid for cryin' out loud
I'm a first-hand witness to an age old crime
A man who hits a woman isn't worth a dime
5,6,7,8,9 years old
That's what i remember 'bout the rock of my soul
I told him i would kill him if he did not stop it
But the rock of my soul just would not drop it
I learned to lie like dirt
I could steal your shirt and talk with a gun
Another houston kid on a downhill skid like father like son
Now i got out of pris
