Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river
For you to come
[Verse 2]
My darlin', you're darnin' my action
Of when three months, I was gone
But whose socks were you darnin', darlin'
While I been gone so long?
[Verse 3]
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river
For you to come
[Verse 4]
A best friend to your ear, up drew
Said I was guilty of sin
Said my bein' gone
Was the best thing for you
But the truth, it all comes through
For me and my kin
It wasn't the best thing for me
But it was best for him
[Verse 5]
Weighted down by decision
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river
For you to come
[Verse 6]
Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river
For you to come
[Verse 7]
While I sat there wonderin'
You thought that eyes were hid
And I had the honor
Of watchin' everything you did
So now I come with words of pain
To bring you news of life
If you can't find your woman
Don't take another's wife
[Verse 8]
Waitin' down by possessions
Waitin' down with a gun
Waitin' down by the river
For you
To come
