[Intro]
(Instrumental - Acoustic guitar slide and slow 12-bar blues shuffle)
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', sun was shinin' bright
Felt somethin' wrong, somethin' just ain't right
Took one step forward, felt a sharp, hard pain
Looked down at my feet, started complainin' again
[Chorus]
Got them rocks in my shoes, oh Lord, what can I do?
Got them rocks in my shoes, givin' me the low-down blues
Every step I take, feels like a brand new bruise
Yeah, got them rocks in my shoes, singin' these weary blues
[Verse 2]
Tried to shake 'em loose, stompin' on the ground
But them little devils, they just stick around
Like troubles weighin' heavy on my weary mind
Can't seem to leave nothin' bad behind
[Chorus]
Got them rocks in my shoes, oh Lord, what can I do?
Got them rocks in my shoes, givin' me the low-down blues
Every step I take, feels like a brand new bruise
Yeah, got them rocks in my shoes, singin' these weary blues
[Bridge]
It ain't no big river, ain't no mountain high
Just a tiny pebble makin' me wanna cry
Ain't lost my lover, ain't broke and alone
But this little aggravation's got me groanin' and moanin'
[Guitar Solo]
(Slow, bending blues guitar solo over 12-bar progression)
[Verse 3]
Sittin' on the porch, tryin' to take 'em out
Feels like the whole world's filled with doubt
When the smallest thing can bring you to your knees
Like gravel grindin' in the breeze
[Chorus]
Got them rocks in my shoes, oh Lord, what can I do?
Got them rocks in my shoes, givin' me the low-down blues
Every step I take, feels like a brand new bruise
Yeah, got them rocks in my shoes, singin' these weary blues
[Outro]
(Slow fade on repeated guitar shuffle and humming/vocal ad-lib: "Mmm, these rocks... these weary blues... just can't shake 'em loose...")
