She left town early on a FridayHeading down to family in New OrleansSession deeded to feel the sun on her faceTalk it out with herself, try to get things straightLord, all I know is I don't want to breatheI wish I was coldI wish I was coldThen I wouldn't feel a thingWish I didn't have this heartThen I wouldn't know the sting of the rainI could stand strong and stillWatching you walk awayI wouldn't hurt like thisI feel so all aloneI wish I was cold as stoneAlmost turned around in MississippiPulled over on the shoulder along the wayThought by now I'd be fineBut all these tears are blurring every dayAnd I think back to when you were mineWish I was cold as stoneThen I wouldn't feel a thingWish I didn't have this heartThen I wouldn't know the sting of the rainI could stand on my ownLetting your memory fadeI wouldn't hurt like thisI feel so all aloneI wish I was cold as stoneYeah, it's gonna take foreverTo get over youOh, and I don't think this pain's gonna go awayAnd I don't think this pain's gonna go awayYour stars left when it's said and done, remainWish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stoneThen I wouldn't feel a thingWish I didn't have this heartThen I wouldn't know the sting of the rainI could stand strong and stillWatching you walk awayI wouldn't hurt like thisI feel so all day longWish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stoneI wish I was cold as stone
