Heavy Burden

(Verse 1) Woke up this mornin', feelin' low and blue, Every step I take, feels like I'm tied to you. Life' has got a way, of draggin' me down, Every smile I wear, turns into a frown. (Chorus) Oh, the misery, of just bein' alive, Feels like I'm swimmin', up against the tide. Call it the blues, call it what you will, It's a heavy burden, and it's gotta hold on me (Verse 2) I look in the mirror, don't like what I see, The weight of the world just won't let me be. The road is long, and the night's so cold, These lonesome blues won't let go. (Chorus) Oh, the misery, of just bein' alive, Feels like I'm swimmin', up against the tide. Call it the blues, call it what you will, It's a heavy burden, and it's gotta hold on me (Bridge) Every dream I had, seems to fade away, Nothin' but shadows, at the break of day. Got no more tears, to cry or to shed, The blues keep on playin', inside my head. (Verse 3) Friends come and go, like the wind through the trees, But these blues, they linger, never seem to ease. I keep on walkin', this lonely road alone, With the weight of the world, cuttin' to the bone. (Outro) Oh, the misery, of just bein' alive, Feels like I'm swimmin', up against the tide. Call it the blues, call it what you will, It's a heavy burden, and it's gotta hold on me
