Heavy Load

I lied to Jesus and Jesus saw right through me.
I thought that He’d be mad but He didn’ do nothing to me.
He just let me go my way knowing I’d be back some day.

Pleased to meet you ma’am. I am a drifter in this land,
A drinker and a snifter and I’ll take you by the hand.
But I will not play the fool again nor hero nor hooligan.
Remember me as just a man.

And it’s one more for the road. Add it to my heavy load.

My mama called me worthless. My daddy called me worse.
I never paid ‘em too much mind, yet here they are in this final verse.
I guess it some impressed me. I never understood
How some possess the gift to separate the broken from the good.

And there’s one more for the road. Add it to my heavy load.
And it’s one more for the road. A toast to my heavy load.
