Lay Your Head Down

“Lay Your Head Down” Springtime came with a vengeance this year The river rose high The water ain’t clear Springtime came with a vengeance this year Come on in the water’s warm down here My oh my how the time flies When you’re stuck in a rut and you realize My oh my how the time flies Come on baby won’t you dry your eyes? Lay your head down In my lap now and Tell me something I don’t know Though you’re hurting Take your burden And put the load on me Summertime came Brought me whiskey and tears Felt enough pain for the next five years Summertime came Brought me whiskey and tears Take my hand There ain’t no room here for fear All I know is that I’m growing old You can sleep when you’re dead so I am told All I know is that I’m growing old The sins of a man are much too heavy to hold Lay your head down In my lap now and Tell me something I don’t know Though you’re hurting Take your burden And put the load on me Lay your head down In my lap now and Tell me something I don’t know Though you’re hurting Take your burden And put the load on me All I know is that I’m growing old You can sleep when you’re dead so I am told All I know is that I’m growing old The sins of a man are much too heavy to hold
