I woke up this morning   And prayed to God, oh, let it be a dream   Her side of the bed was cold   And layin' there beside me was her ring      With a note, that she had left for me   Layin' where she used to lay her head   And I felt the world fall in on me   For this is what she said      Tied to a stone, ain't no way to live   I can't go on livin' like this   I'd rather be lonely and face life alone   Than to go on this way, day after day   Tied to a stone      I always thought I gave her   Everything that any girl could want   The diamonds on her fingers   A new car and a big two-story home      Home became a prison   And lookin' back, now, I can see it all   Oh, I'd give the world if I could change the things   That made her climb that wall      Tied to a stone, ain't no way to live   I can't go on livin' like this   I'd rather be lonely and face life alone   Than to go on this way, day after day   Tied to a stone
