Rock My Soul - ft Ash

### Intro **[Harmonica — slow, lonely phrase]** Mmm... Yeah... Some things don't leave... You just learn how to carry 'em... **[Harmonica answers]** --- ### Verse 1 Daddy wasn't there, so I learned not to ask Every birthday came and went, I quit looking back Mama fighting demons, house full of smoke Growing up too fast wasn't no joke Used to think love meant giving everything away Now I know some people only come around to take I was young, I was soft, I ain't know no better then Kept mistaking little boys for grown men **[Harmonica cry]** --- ### Hook Rock my soul... Cause life done wore me down Rock my soul... Before I hit the ground I done gave my heart away piece by piece Now I'm just looking for a little peace Rock my soul... Rock my soul... **[Harmonica lead — 4 bars]** --- ### Verse 2 Had me thinking I was pretty only when they wanted some Calling me "queen" after midnight Acting different when the morning come Took me years to see it wasn't love at all Just lonely people looking for somebody else to fall Too many tears cried in bathrooms all alone Too many nights wishing somebody would call my phone Too many times blaming me for what they did Trying to heal wounds I got as a kid **[Harmonica bends upward]** --- ### Hook Rock my soul... Cause life done wore me down Rock my soul... Before I hit the ground I done gave my heart away piece by piece Now I'm just looking for a little peace Rock my soul... Rock my soul... **[Harmonica solo — answer the melody]** --- ### Bridge I miss the girl I used to be Before the walls... Before the scars... Before survival became part of who I am Sometimes I wonder if she still there Waiting on me... Somewhere inside... **[Harmonica — soft and distant]** --- ### Breakdown Grandma used to say... Baby don't let this world make you mean... Don't let pain tell you who you are... **[Single harmonica note hangs]** --- ### Verse 3 I ain't looking for nobody to come save me now I done learned how to carry my own weight somehow Still got hope even after everything Still got love even with the hurt it bring Cause being hard never really fit my soul It just became the coat I wore out in the cold And if I ever find my way back to that light I'ma hold on to it with all my might **[Harmonica answers final line]** --- ### Final Hook *(Choir joins softly)* Rock my soul... When my spirit getting tired Rock my soul... When the road feel higher Rock my soul... When the tears won't stop Rock my soul... Till my heart unlock Rock my soul... Rock my soul... **[Extended harmonica solo]** --- ### Outro Rock my soul... **[Harmonica]** Rock my soul... **[Harmonica]** Rock my soul... I ain't who they made me... I'm who I survived to be... **[Final harmonica note fades into silence]**
