Burdens Down
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.
I'm going down on the Nueces River
Gonna call my brother, ask him to meet me there
On the surface will be two men fishing
Down below we are brothers with a love to share
I'm gonna lay my burdens down now
Gonna ask the Lord to watch them a while
I'm gonna walk where the sun is shining
I'll be home when I have found a smile
There is a salt cedar tree that I know of
It can take a breeze and make a melody
I'm gonna climb up in those branches
And ask if it would whisper its secrets to me
There'll come a time when the world is level
There was a time when the mountains grew
Then there is all that is here in the middle
And how it's spent is up to me and up to you
