Story Behind The Song
Sitting is a club in Nashville one day we heard someone say "he must be dumber than a box of rocks to lose her!" We found this to be a great way to say how stupid people like us often are.
Song Description
Misery accompanies the other emotions that evolve during the aftermath of a lost relationship. Unfortunately we often realize this too late, hence "dumber than a box of rocks."

Lyrics
Box of Rocks
Words and music by Alan Cartee & Jon Moore

One woman wasn?t enough I had to have two
Dumber than a box of rocks for ever losing you
One woman wasn?t enough I had to have two
Dumber than a box of rocks for ever losing you
Babe you know I?m gonna make it up to you this time
I promise no more cheating no more lies
God?s gift to women in so much misery
I?m afraid I hurt you more than you love me (Oh I?ve been a fool now)
Chorus
Lead
Chorus
I could kick myself for the trouble I?m in
Self-inflicted, oh I?m in so much paid
I beat my head against the wall until I spin (again ?again? again)
No matter what I do you?re still gone (Oh I?ve been a fool now)
Chorus out
