Lay It on Down

Sad yellow bird

Coal smudged eyes

Twice bitten

Ten times shy

Gold gilded cage

Door open wide

Can't trust your wings

Too scared to fly

Who broke your will now honey

Who stole your dreams like money

Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around

I know you're still worth saving

Give a poor boy a chance to take that

Weight of the world you been draggin' around

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

You flew for a while

With king pins and kings

They'd snap their fingers

And you'd sing

They'd take what they want

Tell you sweet lies

In the cold bed of dawn

Leave you to cry

Who broke your will now honey

Who stole your dreams like money

Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around

I know you're still worth saving

Give a poor boy a chance to take that

Weight of the world you been draggin' around

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

I know you're still worth saving

Give a poor boy a chance to take that

Weight of the world you been draggin' around

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

Lay it on down

Lay it on down
