Lyrics:

I've been drifting and rolling along the road
Trying to bear my heavy load
Like a log that's been passed on the side
I'm so heavy and so tired

And I know me a few men in my time
None of them worth a lousy dime
And they make me work like a, a doggone slave
Won't be happy 'til I'm in my grave

And I've been drifting and rolling along the road
Trying to bear my heavy load
Rolling like a log that's been passed on the side
I'm so heavy and so tired

My world, you done took it and torn it in two
Who'd ever thought it of a boy like you?
It looked hot, I thought it was a sugar and spice
Salty water turned to ice

I've been drifting and rolling along the road
Trying to bear my heavy load
Rolling like a log that's been passed on the side
I'm so heavy and so tired
