Box of Rocks Lyrics I gathered up all my thoughts in a box and it might as well be a box of rocks cause its not much, not much at all Cause I’ve been full of beer, liquor and nicotine, and now I fear my tendencies towards the obscene, like a nudie magazine. Don’t get me wrong… Aint nothing wrong with nothing unless that something becomes your everything, and in turn returns you nothing, I got nothing to show… For all the hard work, I might as well been jerking off, the past ten years I fear have passed me by, evaporated to the sky Chorus: A box of rocks, is all I got, far from what I want, but it’ll have to do today This is right and so is that, seems to be the most popular answer, to the questions I ask Should I be livin for today or tomorrow, who knows which path to follow, God knows that I don’t know, which way to go…like I said A box of rocks, is all I got, far from what I want, but it’ll have to do today Daddy folded on a royal flush, looked my way and said “Son, I don’t need that much. All I need is all I got right here with me and my God, won’t you think about that when this world will be gone.” I said Daddy, I gotta pay the bills, he said “Son, your work does, but also faith will.” So won’t you take a look again at what you’re doin today, your time probably ain’t up but it may….be One things for certain, the curtain’s gonna fall, and when it does it don’t matter if you had everything or nothing at all But why not get what you want, before you go, life’s too short, to take it slow, so while you’re here, gather up all your gold And buy up all you can just so you can say you had it, but the fact is that it really had you So here we are again back at the beginning, just when you think you’re winnin, there’s a check on how you’re livin. I keep on running in circles Chorus: A box of rocks, is all I got, far from what I want, but it’ll have to do today This is right and so is that, seems to be the most popular answer, to the questions I ask Should I be livin for today or tomorrow, who knows which path to follow, God knows that I don’t know, which way to go…like I said A box of rocks, is all I got, far from what I want, but it’ll have to do today
