  • Verse 1
    The rock 
    of my 
    soul 
    went 

    to 
    church 
    on 
    Sunday 

    The 
    rock 
    of my 
    soul 
    went 
    to 

    work 
    on 
    Monday 

    Clean 
    across 
    the 
    levy 
    by 

    the 
    railroad 
    tracks 

    The 
    other 
    side 
    of 
    Houston 
    in 

    two 
    room 
    shack 

    Sweeping 
    out 
    confetti 
    from 

    a third 
    grade 
    classroom 

    The 
    rock 
    of 
    my 
    soul 
    pushed 

    Verse 2
    a dust 
    mop 
    broom 


    The rock 
    of my 
    soul 

    didn't 
    have 
    much 
    luck 

    He 
    came 
    to town 
    grinnin' 

    on 
    a flat 
    bed 
    truck 

    The rock 
    of my 
    soul 
    didn't 

    have 
    much 
    charm 

    With 
    the lack 
    of 
    education 

    on a red 
    dirt 
    farm 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    fond 
    of 
    disappearing 

    on 
    an eight 
    day 
    drunk 

    Coming 
    home 
    smelling 
    like 

    a low 
    down 
    skunk 

    Verse 3
    And 
    he said 


    do 
    like 
    say 

    Not 
    like 
    do 
    and 
    you 
    might 

    make 
    me 
    proud 

    Another 
    Houston 
    Kid 

    On 
    a downhill 
    skid 
    for 
    crying 
    out 
    loud 

    Verse 4

    I'm 
    first 
    hand 
    witness 

    to 
    an 
    age 
    old 
    crime 

    A man 
    who 
    hits 
    woman 
    isn't 

    worth 
    dime 

    5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years 
    old 

    That's 
    what 
    remember 
    about 

    the 
    rock 
    of my 
    soul 

    I told 
    him 
    would 
    kill 
    him 
    if 
    he 
    did 
    not 
    stop 
    it 

    But 
    the 
    rock 
    of my 
    soul 

    Verse 5
    just 
    would 
    not 
    drop 
    it 


    learned 
    to 
    lie 
    like 
    dirt 

    could steal 
    your 
    shirt 
    and 

    talk 
    with 
    gun

    Another 
    Houston 
    Kid 

    On 
    a downhill 
    skid 
    like 
    father 
    like 
    son 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    Now 
    got 
    out 
    of 
    prison 

    'bout 
    year 
    ago 

    Sev
    en 
    long 
    years 
    really 

    went 
    by 
    slow 

    I didn't 
    kill 
    my 
    daddy 

    but 
    my 
    momma 
    tried 

    She 
    shot 
    him 
    with 
    a pistol 

    and 
    he like 
    to 
    a died 

    I'm 
    on 
    probation 
    living 
    straight 
    and 
    true 

    And 
    there's 
    every 
    indication 

    that 
    the 
    past 
    is 
    through 

    Verse 7

    That's 
    all 
    know 

    Outro 1
    'Bout 
    the 
    rock 
    of 
    my 
    soul

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
