Too Much Rock
Plowing Through Life: Clint Black's Metaphorical Melody
Lyrics
The sun's gonna shine tomorrow
The future holds hope despite current difficulties.
But I'll be lookin' for the rain
Despite optimism, there's an expectation of challenges or sadness.
Wells run dry, there's only dirt to turn
Resources are depleted, leaving barren ground.
If things go broke tomorrow
If circumstances worsen,
But it goes against my grain
Resisting against personal nature or beliefs.
And I'm plowin' down a row of no return
Continuing down a path with no chance of turning back.
There's just too much rock in this country
There's excessive difficulty or obstacles in this place.
Too many lessons to learn
Abundance of experiences or challenges to understand.
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
Hoping for success or fulfillment eventually.
There's just too many stones to overturn
There are numerous difficulties yet to be addressed.
Now I'm gonna put this hoe down
Leaving one task to pursue another passion.
And pick up my guitar
Switching to creative pursuits, abandoning manual labor.
Plant some seeds down on Music Row
Attempting to establish oneself in the music industry.
But it seems that old town is a lot like on the farm
Similar struggles faced in the new pursuit as in farming.
I keep plantin', nothin' ever seems to grow
Efforts yield no tangible results despite consistent trying.
There's just too much rock in this country
The difficulties are ingrained in this environment.
Too many lessons to learn
There's an excess of challenges or lessons to comprehend.
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
Hoping for success or fulfillment eventually.
There's just too many stones to overturn
There are numerous difficulties yet to be addressed.
Now I've heard it said to make a livin' like that
Success in this field requires more than just physical effort.
Will take more than flesh and bone
Making a living demands more than basic qualities.
As a matter of fact to wear that hat
It's challenging to adopt the required persona or role.
You're gonna plow through a world of stone
Success involves navigating a challenging environment.
There's just too many lessons to learn
An abundance of experiences or challenges to understand.
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
Hoping for success or fulfillment eventually.
There's just too many stones to overturn
There are numerous difficulties yet to be addressed.
Too many stones to overturn
There's an overwhelming number of challenges to overcome.
