Ain't nothing heavier than a burdened heart It's been wearin' me down since we've been apart But I've been carryin' that load Carryin' that load I've been carryin' that load alone Well, it's slowing me down Got me draggin' my shoes And now I'm stuck with those lowdown blues But I've been carryin' that load Carryin' that load I've been carryin' that load alone Even when the sun comes out shining down My days are lonely and dreary And the only way skies could light up Is you come over and sleep right near me If you never come home Oh well, we've had our fun And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done But I've been carryin' that load Carryin' that load I've been carryin' that load alone Even when the sun comes out shining down My days are lonely and dreary And the only way skies could light up Is you come over and sleep right near me If you never come home Oh well, we've had our fun And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done But I've been carryin' that load Carryin' that load I've been carryin' that load alone
