Lyrics:
A rollin' Rock, Electric shocks
It gives a lickin'that does'nt stop
She line'em up , push you around
smokin' rings going round and round

her hot potatoes will elevate you
her bad behavior will leave you standing proud
Hard as a rock

Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock

The lightnin' rod strike it hot
gonna hit you like the rushmore rock
no nicotine and no pipe dreams
so low and dirty, it`s darn right mean

Hell'Elevator , I'll see you later
No I ain't gonna take it
I'm bustin' out

Hard as a rock

Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
Hard as a rock
Harder than a rock
