Lyrics:

Ain't nothing heavier than a burdened heart
It's been wearin' me down since we've been apart

But I've been carryin' that load
Carryin' that load
I've been carryin' that load alone

Well, it's slowing me down
Got me draggin' my shoes
And now I'm stuck with those lowdown blues

But I've been carryin' that load
Carryin' that load
I've been carryin' that load alone

Even when the sun comes out shining down
My days are lonely and dreary
And the only way skies could light up
Is you come over and sleep right near me

If you never come home
Oh well, we've had our fun
And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done

But I've been carryin' that load
Carryin' that load
I've been carryin' that load alone

Even when the sun comes out shining down
My days are lonely and dreary
And the only way skies could light up
Is you come over and sleep right near me

If you never come home
Oh well, we've had our fun
And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done

But I've been carryin' that load
Carryin' that load
I've been carryin' that load alone
