Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Lay It Down

Travelin' down on different roads

Tryin' hard to leave the load

Take it there but we can't let go

It's so hard to lay it down.

Back in Eden we were tried

Found ourselves disatisfied

Seeking wisdom that she denied

Tryin' hard to lay it down.

Lay it down brother, lay it down

It's so hard to lay it down.

Hide in me, confide in me

Don't you think it's time to be

Everything we tried to be

You and me should lay it down.

Speak to me, be unashamed

There's no need in playing games

After all we're all the same

Just tryin' hard to lay it down.

Lay it down brother, lay it down

It's so hard to lay it down.

Wish my words could make it well

Wish that I could break the shell

Take us from myself made hell

Find a way to lay it down.

Burdened by the things I've learned

Hurtin' 'cause I'm too concerned

Nonetheless I confess I yearn

To find a way to lay it down.

Lay it down, lay it down

Wish that I could lay it down...
