take the weight

The leaves fell off well so did we babe

The wind goes whistling through the pines

He did you wrong but you're blaming me babe

Now I gotta answer for his crimes

Tell me why

Took me a while to find the landmines

Went walking for miles thinking I was safe

Prescription pills chased down with red wine

Have you ever seen a person change

Went and packed the wagon to the top

We were dragging wouldn't need much more to break

Dammit all it took was a feather falling down no

We couldn't take the weight

Couldn't take the weight

The rivers dried at the railway

The levees busted in my mind

The thoughts come flooding in like a freight train

When the whistle blows I hear goodbye

Went and packed the wagon to the top

We were dragging wouldn't need much more to break

Dammit all it took was a feather falling down no

We couldn't take the weight

Knocked me off the saddle we were charging into battle

Hate that losing must've been our fate

Dammit all it took was a feather falling down no

We couldn't take the weight

Couldn't take the weight
