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
