Gov’t Mule - Heavy Load lyrics
[Gov’t Mule - Heavy Load lyrics]
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
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
