Well i used to walk stooped
from the weight of my tears
i just started laying my burdens down
i used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear
i just started laying my burdens down
oh i'm layin' 'em down
i just started laying my burdens down
oh lay i'm layin' em down
i just started laying my burdens down
The flesh ain't nothing but the bark on a tree
i just started laying my burdens down
the tree ain't nothing but the soul in me
i just started laying my burdens down
oh i'm layin' 'em down
i just started laying my burdens down
oh lay i'm layin' em down
i just started laying my burdens down
My soul took love on a hell of a ride
i just started laying my burdens down
a soul ain't nothing but the car love drives
i just started laying my burdens down
oh i'm layin' 'em down
i just started laying my burdens down
oh lay i'm layin' em down
i just started laying my burdens down
Love said mama can i come on home
i just started laying my burdens down
and god said son you ain't never been gone
i just started laying my burdens down
oh i'm layin' 'em down
i just started laying my burdens down
oh lay i'm layin' em down
i just started laying my burdens down
