Laying My Burdens Down

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 lay 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 lay 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 lay I'm layin' em down

I just started laying my burdens down
