Heavy

Eat, no sleep, no money no, money have I none
Working in the rain and the sun
You got to love the family, feed the family, hold the family, love the family

Blue collar, white collar, no collar one and all
Well we all try to carry on
But sometimes we hang our head down and cry
'cause

This life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes
This life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes

Not in the east, not in the west
Oh the north's too cold and the south is too wet
But lay me down between the blue and the grey
And all I need to see is, all I need to feel is the sun on my head
And I'm trying to be a better man
But I know I can't, oh I feel so lonely 'cause

Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes
If not, oh most of the time, it goes
Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes

Sister, sister, please won't you lend me a hand
Well I feel like I'm falling down
And all my friends, all my friends across the way
If I can do something, oh darlin', just say
'cause I know it gets so damn heavy

Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes
If not, oh most of the time, it goes
Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes

Someone tell me tell me tell me
What the hell is going on
'cause I know it surely ain't right, it's wrong
Oh the children they are cryin', and some they may be dyin' I know
I can't take it no more, I don't know what else to do
Well this life, you and me are through
Will you help me, hang my head down and cry because

Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes
If not, oh most of the time, it goes
Oh this life can get heavy
Oh so heavy, sometimes
