Yeah we're writing on a rock across the U.S.A
Writing on rocks every night and every day
We're writing on rocks, boy, all the way
Well I'm writing on a rock across the U.S.A
Yeah your life is long, girl, your life is short
But every man, he got to leave his mark
So I got my pencil I got my chalk
There ain't a rock made that I can't make talk
Well write on
Yeah we're writing on a rock across the U.S.A
Writing on rocks every night and every day
We're writing on rocks, boy, all the way
Well I'm writing on a rock across the U.S.A
And I remember down in Galveston
A hurricane ripped the sea
People there well they'd brave the wind
Just to see what my mark would be
So climbed the cliffs and I reached the top
With a pencil in my hand
I scribbled down some of the mysteries
And I stopped that howling wind
Yeah we're writing on a rock across the U.S.A
Writing on rocks every night and every day
Where ever you're at ill be riding your way
Well I'm writing on a rock across the U.S.A
And I remember down in Los Angeles
A earthquake shook the land
People screamed for the shakes to stop
But they needed a writing hand
So I found a rock and wrote a note
And tossed it in the sand
As soon as it hit well the shaking stopped
And I'm right on the road again
Yeah we're writing on a rock across the U.S.A
Writing on rocks every night a every day
We're writing on rocks, boy, all the way
Well I'm writing on a rock across the U.S.A
