Why do you stay
Why do you stay
Why do you stay
Why do you stay
When your tears fall hard as stones
When your tears fall hard as stones
On the dry Kentucky clay.

I’ll tend your garden every day
I’ll tend your garden every day
Till my hands they crack and bleed
Till my hands they crack and bleed
But the blood from my broken heart you’ll never see.

The summer sun is oh so heavy
The summer sun is oh so heavy
Like bricks upon my back
Like bricks upon my back
But the weight inside my soul will never leave.

Why do you stay
Why do you stay
Why do you stay
Why do you stay
When you’re tears fall hard as stones
When you’re tears fall hard as stones
On the dry Kentucky clay
On the dry Kentucky clay.
