ROCK N' A HARD PLACE (Kronsberg** - Puerta - Pack) 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 heel I asked you for a bit of time, A little breathin' space But your gift to me was A rock n' a hard place, Rock 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 I laid too high a stake on lovin' you, babe, To let you say goodbye How could you think I'd last alone?
