lyrics

Heavy Load plunder down the road licking up the gasoline
Minor derail cash for bail and I’m trying to get my act clean
The deal was such it was right I was wrong in the eyes of the law
No one cared I was ground down to the core
Unpaid loans and singing romeos
Them sticks and stones will never break my bones

Trying to evoke talking through the dark smoke I’m tired of this hell
Back door keys as well as lawyer fees the landlord’s got his eyes on my jezzabell
The key to living is lying and surviving is the key to much more
Much more than you ever hope for
No smoking gun I’ve got nowhere to run
In fact I was blessed and raised as a seventh son

Well the judgement day and the jury all sit
I’m sweating bullets and my eyes are baked and lit
Pray to the lord take pity on my soul
Help me guide me to the light now help me out of this hole

The key to it all is above and love when it knocks on your door
Let’s hope that it’s all you’ve ever prayed for
Black cat bone he’s feeling most alone cast a stone
Must be time to relax unwind unload
My Heavy Load
