Willie Nelson — Laying My Burdens Down

[Verse 1] I used to walk stooped From the weight of my tears But I just started laying my burdens down I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear But I just started laying my burdens down [Chorus] Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down [Verse 2] The flesh ain't nothing but the bark on a tree I just started laying my burdens down The tree isn't nothing but the soul in me I just started laying my burdens down [Chorus] Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down [Verse 3] My soul took love on a hell of a ride I just started laying my burdens down My soul ain't nothing, but the car love drives I just started laying my burdens down [Chorus] Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down Oh, I'm laying them down I just started laying my burdens down
