This Heavy Load

I got a routine that runs like clockwork.

Ain’t no room for a shimmy or a shake.

I got an angel on my shoulder

She is watching every move that I make.

If there’s a slip-up or a sick day

There’s an end that will be flapping in the breeze

So I put my head down and push harder

Hoping, the juice is worth the squeeze

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying this heavy load

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying the heavy load

And so the rain falls like just like heartache

You look for inspiration in every pretty face

The gentle dreams that carried you thru every storm

Smile and wave and pack their bags and leave without a trace.

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying this heavy load

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying the heavy load

Some day I will make my honest peace

Find my gentle calmest sleep, and say good night.

I got a routine that runs like clockwork.

Ain’t no room for a shimmy or a shake.

I got an angel on my shoulder

She is watching every move that I make.

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying this heavy load

I keep carrying

I keep carrying

I keep carrying the heavy load
