Heavy Load

Woke up singing a dead man's song

Smell of smoke rising in the air

Ain't no need to worry 'bout things gone wrong

Always something going wrong somewhere

Woman left me high and dry

Like the dust that's on my face

That's okay, I'm moving on

Moving on ain't no disgrace

I'm gon' leave when the sun goes down

Say goodbye to this lonesome town

One more thing I can leave behind

Don't look for me, you ain't gonna find me

Too many bridges, too many roads

Too much sky and too much ground

Life can be such a heavy load

There just ain't no relief to be found

Guess somewhere I lost my way

Got caught up in earthly things

Guess I forgot what brought me here

Riding on an angels' wings

Too much trouble on my brain

Too many songs about the same old thing

Know you just can't sing your blues away

There's dues you know you're gonna have to pay

Too many bridges, too many roads

Too much sky and too much ground

Life can be such a heavy load

There just ain't no relief to be found

Keep on running and I don't know why

I'll be running 'til the day I die

Somewhere farther down that line

Maybe I'll see you come judgment time

Walk a mile in my shoes

Please don't judge me 'til you do

I'll do my best not to judge you

Just let me play these heavy load blues

Woke up singing a dead man's song

Smell of smoke rising in the air

Don't know tomorrow where I'll be

When I'm gone you can bury me

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside
