Dean Hall - Chiseled In Stone

Where the years have gone, I got years to go
Working for the man to pay the debt I owe
Well, the time may pass but the truth will stand
When the good Lord shakes this calloused hand
You can call my name
It's time to go
But I'll never be free
till it's chiseled in stone.
Ain't no man gonna carry my load
I gotta be a man and do it on my own
The devil's in my path and the hound's on my heel
You have to walk in my shoes just to know how I feel
The devil's calling my name
He's the one who knows
That I'll never be free
till it's chiseled in stone
Chiseled in stone.
Well I keep on going though there's no way out
Every stone in my path is a brick in my house
A man's life is built all along the way
By the things that he's done and the choices he's made
Someday they'll call my name
I'll have a place of my own
But I'll never be free
till it's chiseled in stone.
On the final day when the whistle blows
I can rest my body, I can rest my soul
I built my castle in the promised land
It's made of rocks and stone and like the shifting sands
When they mention my name
after I'm long gone,
Well, they'll know I'm free
'cause it's chiseled in stone
Chiseled in stone
