James, Colin - Man's Gotta Be A Stone Lyrics






Man's gotta be a stone,
Man's gotta be a stone,
A man's gotta carry that weight and get back home.

I got one life to live,
Baby, one life to live,
I gotta fill it up, so I can get back what I give.

Gotta get wise today.
I'm gonna have to find a way,
To work till I get it right and make it pay.

Man's gotta be a stone,
Man's gotta be a stone,
A man's gotta carry his weight and get back home.

Man's gotta see the sun,
A man's gotta see the sun,
He's gotta know another new day, has begun.

Man's gotta be a stone,
Man's gotta be a stone,
A man's gotta carry his weight and get back home.

Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

James, Colin Man's Gotta Be A Stone Comments
  1. P.... ....

    Perfect.

  2. c.... ....

    He should be included in the same breath as the other world renowned guitar greats. He's that good. If he'd been from the US or the UK, he'd be a household name.

  3. i.... a....

    Does anybody know if this is an original or who recorded it

    i.... a....

    I really dig Colin James, but this sounds like 95% ZZ Top. Still kickin', though. This is his own, co-written with Daryl Burgess, from Colin's 2009 slbum 'Rooftops And Satellites'.

  4. j.... ....

    is it me or is this song(including solo) dangerously close to ZZ Tops "Lagrange"

    j.... ....

    Thats unfair ya its got a shuffle grove but even the chords are different
    Blues are passed down traditionally and each person develops their own take. It really is true tho the greatest songs have all been written......love colin james

  5. J.... V....

    Tin pan Ally is not An SRV song

  6. P.... C....

    Found this gut in 1990 doing Percy Sledges Sudden Stop.....man this guy ROCKS!

  7. M.... J....

    That's the stuff lads

  8. G.... ....

    Ya Colin on Blues harp. Breaking it down, Good to hear it man!

  9. J.... O....

    He's awesome! Gotta love me some Colin James, ;).

  10. P.... ....

    I remember this guy used to be on Super Dave Osborne all the time, but I can't find any videos.

    P.... ....

    PansBox11 Try Q107 9for the whole gig.
    Ni

  11. h.... c....

    saw this guy in Glasgow on Monday night,,,,,"By God, he,s Good"   ;-)

  12. M.... C....

    I'm a long time blues fan and he is under rated as a guitarist.

    M.... C....

    Michael... he's underrated as a talent, period. The guy's got it all.

  13. J.... L....

    D.... A....

    +SerenityNow Hahahaha I agree .. who cares, it's great.

    D.... A....

    It's not a rip off its a very common blues run only so much you can do on a guitar

    D.... A....

    It all comes from somewhere, and ya' gotta' start someplace. 12 tones is kind of limited anyway, don't you think?
