Pocket Full of Stones

[Verse 1]
Boots on the shale
Early on the trail
Hammer in my coat
Dust on my throat

A split seam gleams
Like a dream in the stone
I turn it in my hand
And it sings home

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me the vein line
Show me the flash
One good crack
And I’m gone in a dash

[Chorus]
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
I dig what the ground
Has been hiding for me
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
Every little spark
Got a story to see
(Pocket full of stones)

[Verse 2]
Black-tipped boots
And a lunch pail dent
Old creek bed luck
And a back well-bent

Green jasper ring
And a quartz face blaze
I shake off the clay
In a sunlit haze

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that knock sound
Right by my knee
When the rock breaks open
It’s a yes from me

[Chorus]
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
I dig what the ground
Has been hiding for me
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
Every little spark
Got a story to see
(Pocket full of stones)

[Bridge]
Run my thumb along
That slick cold glass
Old world fire
In a mud-bright pass

Call me treasure-eyed
Call me wild and known
I can read the hills
By the bones in stone

[Chorus]
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
I dig what the ground
Has been hiding for me
Pocket full of stones
Pocket full of stones
Every little spark
Got a story to see
(Pocket full of stones)
