Laying My Burdens Down Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Well I used to walk stooped
From the weight of my tears
I just started laying my burdens down
I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I′m layin' ′em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh lay I'm layin' em down
I just started laying my burdens down

The flesh ain′t nothing but the bark on a tree
I just started laying my burdens down
The tree ain′t nothing but the soul in me
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin′ 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I′m layin' ′em down
I just started laying my burdens down


My soul took love on a hell of a ride
I just started laying my burdens down
A soul ain't nothing but the car love drives
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin′ ′em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin′ 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down

Love said Mama can I come on home
I just started laying my burdens down
And God said son you ain′t never been gone
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin′ 'em down
I just started laying my burdens down
Oh I'm layin′ ′em down
I just started laying my burdens down


(Oh I'm layin′ 'em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
(Oh I′m layin' ′em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
(Oh I'm layin' ′em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
(Oh I′m layin' ′em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
(Oh I'm layin′ 'em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
(Oh I′m layin' 'em down)
(I just started laying my burdens down)
