Lyrics Heavy Load - Gov't Mule

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 gonna 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
You 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, I don't know why
I'll be running till 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 till 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
And 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
