Lyrics

Some say I was a highwayman
Some say I was a king
And there are the few
That see no difference in the two
Truth is I can't recall much of my own history
The centuries of pain
Has washed those memories away.

My task is simple though my work is never done
I push with all my will to move this rock on up the hill
And when it seems as if salvation's finally come
I watch the boulder go back down into the valley below.

Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.

Don't know a crime that warants such a punishment
I guess I just got caught on the wrong side of a god.
If I ever see that God I tell you, I will not repent.
My love will never dwell with the creator of my hell.

Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.

Sometimes it seems as if I've slipped into a dream
With a woman in my arms and I am safe from harm
And far away death lies tied up in chains
And War is lost at sea
And I am on my island drinking up the salty breeze
And I am truly free
And this time I'll make it over the mountain side.

Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
Oh, run to the rock that's rolling, run to the rock that's rolling down.
