Tied To A Stone Lyrics - George Jones

(WRITTEN BY: Max D. Barnes) 

I woke up this morning 

And prayed to God, oh, let it be a dream 

Her side of the bed was cold 

And layin' there beside me was her ring 

With a note that she had left for me 

Layin' where she used to lay her head 

And I felt the world fall in on me 

For this is what she said. 

Tied to a stone 

Ain't no way to live 

I can't go on 

Livin' like this 

I'd rather be lonely 

And face life alone 

Than to go on this way, 

Day after day 

Tied to a stone.

I always thought I gave her 

Everything that any girl could want 

The diamonds on her fingers 

A new car and a big two-story home 

Oh, but home became a prison 

And lookin' back now I can see it all 

Oh, I'd give the world if I could change the things 

That made her climb that wall. 

She said, Tied to a stone 

Ain't no way to live 

I can't go on 

Livin' like this 

I'd rather be lonely 

And face life alone 

Than to go on this way, 

Day after day 

Tied to a stone.

I'd rather be lonely 

And face life alone 

Than to go on this way, 

Day after day 

Tied to a stone...
