"Breaking Rocks" lyrics - DUFF MCKAGAN

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Breaking rocks sometimes is painful
Breaking rocks, they're all the same
Breaking rocks, heavy and strangling
A broken rock will break the chain

[Outro:]
Breaking rocks will break the chain
Breaking rocks will break the chain
Breaking rocks will break the chain
(Will break the chain)
