Story Behind The Song
The song is a journey - it describes the mental and physical odyssey a man takes after he is blindsided by his woman leaving him for another. But prayer, a preacher, excess, even therapy can't ease that pain.

Lyrics
Stone Cold
You don't need a gun babe
To kill a man
Just make love, and break love...
I built you a castle babe, in them hills over town
Five simple words brought it all tumbling down
This is what the bitch said to me...
Babe, I'm gonna leave you
Babe, I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold
We made it all the way to Mecca baby
The Promised Land
So how can you leave me for another man?
I went to the preacher babe, I prayed to the Lord
I walked through the desert, I slept on the floor
All because the bitch said to me
Babe I'm gonna leave you
Babe I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold
I went to the doctor babe
I said, "Doctor...you gotta give me something to ease my mind!"
But he said...
"Hold up young man!
A broken heart takes time"
Babe, I'm gonna leave you
She said, Babe I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you
Stone Cold
I'm gonna leave you Stone Cold
