Rock N' a Hard Place Lyrics

I've waited twice as long as any man should
To tell you how I feel
You gathered in my chosen words
And ground them underneath your heelI asked you for a bit of time, a little breathin' space
But your gift to me was a rock n' a hard placeRock n' a hard place
(Leaves a man no place to go)
Rock n' a hard place
(Ain't no room for love to grow)
Rock n' a hard place
Rock n' a hard placeI laid too high a stake on lovin' you, babe
To let you say goodbye
How could you think I'd last alone?
I can't go on, there's no use tryin'I'm askin' for a second chance, a little savin' grace
You're leavin' me between a rock n' a hard placeRock n' a hard place
(Leaves a man no place to go)
Rock n' a hard place
(Ain't no room for love to grow)
Rock n' a hard place

Rock n' a hard placeWon't you tell me why you're leavin' tonight?
Throwin' our love away?
Don't you see my plight? It just isn't right
To be left this wayI've waited twice as long as any man should
To tell you how I feel
You gathered in my chosen words
And ground them underneath your heelI asked you for a bit of time, a little breathin' space
But your gift to me was a rock n' a hard placeRock n' a hard place
(Leaves a man no place to go)
Rock n' a hard place
(Ain't no room for love to grow)
Rock n' a hard place
Rock n' a hard placeRock n' a hard place
(Leaves a man no place to go)
Rock n' a hard place
(Ain't no room for love to grow)
Rock n' a hard place
Rock n' a hard place
