Goin' Home To The Rock (Intro) / Gideon Tanner

Kim Carnes - Dave Ellingson

He's goin' home to the rock
He's goin' home to the rock
He's gonna meet the man by and by

He's goin' home to the rock...

Now just look the whole town has turned up today
To say the last prayer for me
The Lord only knows how surprised they would be
If they knew I could see them and could hear what they say
Oh if they knew I could see them and could hear what they say

Some say I was a good man some disagree
Some folks are sad some are glad to see the last of me
I know I was a happy man most of my days
And do it all if I had time to it was worthy to me

I'm the last of my family so I'm taking my name
No children do I leave behind
To sing Rock Of Ages for the all worn out cowboy
You can take away my body but the spirit is alive
Oh you can take away my body but the spirit is alive

Some say I was a good man some disagree...
Some say I was a good man some disagree
