[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...")
