No one said this would be easy
No one said life would be sane
I've learned from the scrapes and the bleeding
A cot to lay, I'm in the game
Been beaten, been bruised, been knocked out my shoes
I've been from so many miles
I'm the trucker, I'm the cook
I hang wire, I'm the book man
For this train, always greet you with a smile
Breaking rocks sometimes is painful
Breaking rocks, they're all the same
Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling
A broken rock will break the chain
I'm a junkie, I'm a crook
I've hurt and I took
I'm sorry, I'll do my best to repay
Been a dark and lonely one
Passed out by the sun
Lost my job, lost my wife, lost my way
Breaking rocks sometimes is painful
Breaking rocks, they're all the same
Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling
A broken rock will break the chain
No one said this would be easy
No one said life would be sane
I've learned from the scrapes and the bleeding
A cot to lay, I'm in the game
Breaking rocks sometimes is painful
Breaking rocks, they're all the same
Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling
A broken rock will break the chain
Breaking rocks will break the chain
Breaking rocks will break the chain
Breaking rocks will break the chain
(Will break the chain)
