Intro :
Well I saw a man tod ay and he looked like y ou
And I found myself s taring like a f ool
'Til he turned and I had to look aw ay
'Cause he was just a s tatue made of c lay
S tatues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made
But t hey don't weather well
Like the strong granite s tone
They c rumble and they l eave you all al one
Now I've been on the road a country s inger with a b and
Playing all the honky-t onks and the one-night s tands
But I t hink about you when you're far aw ay
And this road seems like a s tatue made of c lay
S tatues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made
But t hey don't weather well
Like the strong granite s tone
They c rumble and they l eave you all al one
Instrumental :
Now y ou and I we've b een through the hardest t imes
There've been lonely nights and d ays without a d ime
But my l ove for you grows stronger day by d ay
'Cause you're not just a s tatue made of c lay
S tatues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made
But t hey don't weather well
Like the strong granite s tone
They c rumble and they l eave you all al one
