Set It in Stone

[Verse 1]

There’s a plot on a hilltop

With a little patch of grass

Where they’ll lay my bones to rest

When my time has come to pass

Carve a bible verse and two dates

Separated by a dash on a piece of granite

Mm-hm-hm

[Verse 2]

I got my name from my daddy

And he got his from his

And I pray when people hear it

They’ll remember what I did

With my time on this dirt

‘Til I’m six feet under it I won’t take for granted

Every day I get

[Chorus]

I’ll keep working hard

But quit chasing the money

Pour my soul in this guitar

Then save it evеry Sunday

Wake my wife with a kiss

Be a rock for my kids

‘Til thе good Lord calls me home

I’ll keep making a name for myself

‘Til they set it in stone

[Verse 3]

I wanna sell out of tickets

But never be a sell out

Buy a big ol’ house in Franklin

With the porch that wraps around

And if I’ll to count my blessing

Hope there’s more that I can count

And people call on me ’til they lay me down

[Chorus]

I’ll keep working hard

But quit chasing the money

Pour my soul in this guitar

Then save it every Sunday

Wake my wife with a kiss

Be a rock for my kids

‘Til the good Lord calls me home

I’ll keep making a name for myself

‘Til they set it in stone

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I’ll keep working hard

But quit chasing the money

Pour my soul in this guitar

Then save it every Sunday

Wake my wife with a kiss

Be a rock for my kids

‘Til the good Lord calls me home

I’ll keep making a name for myself

Oh, I’ll keep making a name for myself

‘Til they set it in stone

[Outro]

There’s a plot on a hilltop

With a little patch of grass

Where they’ll lay my bones to rest

When my time has come to pass

Carve a bible verse and two dates

Separated by a dash on a piece of granite
