Reid, Johnny - Kicking Stones Lyrics






I remember sitting in my old man’s truck
Watching him and all the other men down on their luck
Standing around a fire fighting off the cold.
Smoking. Swearing. Kicking stones
You know hard times turn a good man bad.
Make him do things out of anger.
Wish he’d never had.
Me and mama would watch him roll in home.
Smoking. Swearing. Kicking stones.
Smoking. Swearing. Kicking stones.
Smoking. Swearing. Kicking stones.
All the dark days turn into years.
Down a long winding road.
They were smoking, swearing, kicking stones
All the dark days turn into years.
And all the hard times they sure stole a lot of tears
But there came a time when I had to move on
from the smoking, swearing, kicking stones.
Kicking stones. Kicking stones.
Down a long and winding road brought me here
Brought me home.
Where two boys of my own
They come running
They come laughing.
When I start singing they start dancing.
We go walking hand in hand.
Kicking stones
Kicking stones
Kicking stones.

    Johnny Reid is a wonderful singer. Every time I listen to him I cry a little for he sounds so much like my late husband. He was a Scotsman just like Johnny. Scotland has and always will make things just a wee bit better.

  27. D.... C....

    He is a great scottish-canadian country singer

  28. W.... F....

    But as T1FF4NY2009 said; and I quote "Proud he is the best male singer to come from Canada" He doesn't come from Canada, he comes from Scotland, he is a Canadian Citizen but he did not come from Canada

  29. L.... R....

    true but he moved to canada when he was13so he is a canadian now

  30. G.... ....

    bag pipes are beautiful in certain scenarios in my opinion such as here and brave heart etc

  31. K.... a....

    he is scottish haha, but none the less an amazing singer !!

  32. W.... F....

    Uhhhhh.... He's Scottish.

  33. k.... ....

  41. J.... B....

    This is the Johnny video that hooked me.......have always loved it.

  42. J.... G....

    Bag Pipes? I love bag pipes!

  43. s.... ....

    @xonatopp3 I agree - I think he also looks a little bit like Rod Stewart.

  44. M.... T....

    you don't have to be born in Canada to be a Canadian...he is a Canadian

  45. l.... b....

    im sure he has bigger numbers played on his videos ,then they havecounted on all his videos on line that he has on the list

  46. N.... K....

    Absolutely priceless music.....

  47. s.... ....

    @xonatopp3 It's not surprising since they are both Scottish.

  48. G.... B....

    If Michael Bolton bought a pickup truck, drove it to Nashville and cut a record, it might end up sounding something like this. My mother-in-law is one of Mr. Reid's biggest fans. Enough said.

  49. T.... ....
