Hard As A Rock, Cold As A Stone
This ones not my usual fare, but… 🙂 I wrote the chorus maybe 15 years ago but as often happens, I got stuck for verses. Well, yesterday the logjam finally broke.
I’m going for a Warren Zevon type snark over a 70’s power chord vibe.
Lyrics:
[chorus]
She’s hard as a rock and cold as a stone
She took me for granted and left me alone
Now I can’t wait ‘till my heart comes home
She’s hard as a rock and she’s cold….
As a stone.
[Verse 1]
She drinks her wine from a paper cup
Thinks love is a game that you never give up
The devil himself said he’d leave her alone
She’s colder than him and twice as well-known
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
She’s got a blacklist longer than Rome
The sheriff won’t answer when she’s on the phone
They say the graveyard dogs don’t bark when she’s near
They just whimper and hide ‘cause they know what they hear
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So here’s to the woman who inspired this song
I was destined for heartbreak – shoulda known all along
Raise up a toast to the ice on her throne…
She’s hard as a rock, and cold as a stone.
[bridge]
She don’t cry, she don’t bend
She’ll sell your soul and call you ‘friend’
[Chorus]
