Lonely man There on his deathbed Death and his pale horse This is what he said He said, See them pictures Up there on the wall Go ahead and take one last look before I make my final call Shows a man who had it all Yeah, the pride before the fall Had me a woman now Had me a wife Had everything in this world Had a perfect life Then I wandered Down that darkened road Went to taste the sins of the flesh Yeah find my lust for gold Now I'm lying here all alone In my broken and empty home No one to search for my soul to roam All because I lost the Cornerstone I came back from the Crossroads looking for some whiskey and wine I came back from the Crossroads looking for some whiskey and wine Saw that girl and her Cornerstone decided I would make her mine I said c'mon now baby, let me show you how to rock and roll I said come over here baby, show you how to rock and roll Yeah give me a taste of your Cornerstone, shake you down to your soul She said I'm an independent woman, yeah I don't need your kind of man I'm an independent woman, don't need your kind of man You want a get to this Cornerstone, you better put a ring on my hand I said my honey my baby, I'm going to give you the world on a string I said my honey my baby, I'll give you the world on a string Give me a taste of that Cornerstone 'cuz Honey I got you that wedding ring You're a good looking man yeah, I like way your guitar hums You're a good looking man yeah, I like way your guitar hums Come on get some of this Cornerstone 'cuz man I think I'm falling in love Oh, let's go to church Called you last night man, how come you didn't pick up the phone I said I called you last night man, why didn't you pick up the phone I needed you to come home yeah, come and warm my Cornerstone Now my honey my baby, I went to the Crossroads again Sorry my baby, I went to the Crossroads again There were so many Cornerstones, you know I just had to give in She said now don't you understand that you promised to be my man She said don't you remember, you promised that you'd be my man Take one last look at this Cornerstone never going to see it again Now my heart is broken, and I sit on the levee and moan Said my heart's all broken, I sit on the levee and moan I'll never forget the day I lost my Cornerstone Now all you people out there you know I'll tell you the truth I say now all you people, you know I'll tell you the truth If you got that Cornerstone, keep it close and tight next to you Or else you'll play the blues like this Now I'm gone with the pale rider, you know I'm leaving my home Now I'm with the pale rider, baby I'm leaving my home You know now honey, I'll never forget your Cornerstone If you were my man, you know I wish that you would stay here I said farewell my man, I wish that you would stay here My Cornerstone misses you, don't you know that I still shed my tears Oh, see that lonely sky riding All you people, looking out there into that setting summer sky You've got to be believe when I say that The Cornerstone made me die
