One Too Many Stones Lyrics

See that church, son? That's where I got married

See that house? That's where I grew up

There's the school and the bar and the ballpark

The old-time cars and pickup trucks

There ain't one thing I don't like about my home

'Cept in the graveyard there is one too many stones

One too many stones

Far too many tears

Figured they'd be gone

After all these years

What am I to do to get it out of my mind

Still think about her almost all the time

We were seventeen years old, just like you, son

I guess we never really thought that life could end

Of course you sometimes heard of someone who had ended her own life

You just never thought that someone'd be your friend

Now there ain't one thing I don't like about my home

'Cept in the graveyard there is one too many stones

One too many stones

Far too many tears

Figured they'd be gone

After all these years

What am I to do to get it out of my mind

Still think about her almost all the time

I often wish I could go back in time and save her

But sometimes all you're gonna get is that one shot

If there were just one single thing that I could teach you, my son

It would be hangin' on to life no matter what

'Cause there are many better places to call home

Than six feet under ground under a stone

One too many stones

Far too many tears

Figured they'd be gone

After all these years

What am I to do to get it out of my mind

Still think about her almost all the time

I still think about her almost all the time
