Joe Ely - Jackhammer Rock Lyrics

They're rocking in their chairs
At the old folks home
They're rocking in the cradle when the day is done
Rockin in the boats in the deep blue sea
We're rocking in the juke joint
My baby and me

I was digging that Rock
With a 20 lb sledge
Givin' me blisters and pushing me to the edge

Grab your baby
Twist the hands off the clock
They made jackhammers for digging' the rock

Rollin' down the hjiway
At a 110
Rollin themselves a smoke when the money gets thin

Rollin in the clover
When a pay day come around
Rollin in their graves when they hear that rocking sound

I was diggin' that rock
With a 20 lb sledge
Given' me blisters and it pushed me to the edge
Grab your baby
Push the hands off the clock
They made jack hammers
For digging that rock

I was digging that Rock
With a 20 lb sledge
Giving me blisters and pushed me to the edge

Grab your baby
Twist the hands off the clock
They made Jack hammers for digging that Rock"
