You sat as still as one at the dinner table
With nothin' to say after grace
You were hard as one 'cause you had to be
Yeah, the oldest ones turn out that way
And if I had me one for every time you let me down
I'd build a wall
I guess I did
Yeah, you taught me all about
Which ones sank, and which ones skipped
But there's throwin' ones
And rollin' ones
And gettin' us to open up
Was like gettin' blood from one
The steppin' kind
The steady kind
The "Hey, I've got your back ones"
You can stand behind
I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone
We were cut from the same stone
I sway like you
When I get nervous
I'm shy like you
But most folks couldn't tell
I get the same shade of red as you did
When I'm angry
I'm red right now 'cause I'm mad as hell
At the throwin' ones
The rollin' ones
And gettin' us to open up
Was like gettin' blood from one
The steppin' kind
The steady kind
The "Hey, I've got your back ones"
You can stand behind
I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone
We were cut from the same stone
Yeah, there's a lot of things
That should be written in one
But your name
Ain't one of 'em
So I carry one
And it's a heavy one
I'm just now findin' out, now that you're gone
We were cut from the same stone
The same stone
