Sack Full Of Stones Lyrics - Travis Tritt

(Travis Tritt/Marty Stuart) 

I used to be the kind of guy 

I could laugh as well as cry 

With a heart feather-soft and summer-warm 

Since you've left me I've been faced 

With emptiness that's been replaced 

With a heart that's hard and heavy 

As a sack full of stones. 

I never thought I'd ever see 

The man my mirror is showing me 

Lord, I must have aged ten years 

Since you've been gone 

The longest mile you'll ever crawl 

Is the one after you fall 

Draggin' around a heart 

That's heavy as a sack full of stones.

With the world upon my shoulders 

And my feelings on my sleeve 

Every time I close my eyes at night 

All I do is watch you leave 

But by far the biggest curse of being left alone 

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy 

As a sack full of stones.

Well, I tried turning to a bottle 

But the bottle turned on me 

I've tried everything 

But nothing sets your memory free 

I'm serving life here in a prison 

That we once called a home 

With a heart that's cold and heavy 

As a sack full of stones.

With the world upon my shoulders 

And my feelings on my sleeve 

Every time I close my eyes at night 

All I do is watch you leave 

But by far the biggest curse of being left alone 

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy 

As a sack full of stones. 

Yes, by far the biggest curse of being left alone 

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy 

As a sack full of stones...
