Take It Off My Shoulders
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(McDougall-Cummings)
Take it off of my shoulders
I don't need your heavy load
Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul
Wake up angel, I am calling
Don't want to drink this misery
Help me out so I can say now
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul
Dancin', prancin', high financin'
No time left for love
There's only one life and you gotta make the best of it this time
Wheelin', dealin', never feelin'
What you might have been dreamin' of
There's only one chance and you gotta grab just what you can
Take it off of my shoulders
Devil get out of my soul
Away from my soul
