Rainy Day Women #12

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good

They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would

They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home

Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone

But I would not feel so all alone

Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street

They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat

They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor

They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door

But I would not feel so all alone

Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table

They'll stone ya when you are young and able

They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck

They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck"

Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone

Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end

Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again

They'll stone you when you're riding in your car

They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar

Yes, but I would not feel so all alone

Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone

They'll stone you when you are walking home

They'll stone you and then say you are brave

They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave

But I would not feel so all alone

Everybody must get stoned
