Heavy Heart of Mine

Now you're gone, well it's been three years long

I still feel it in this heart of mine

This heavy heart of mine seems to waste no time

Placing burden in this troubled lonesome soul

For the troubles that you'd find in the things I left behind

When you rode off in the dark that night

And now you're gone for good and I think it's understood

That you ain't never coming back this way

They found you in those mines that lay deep within those pines

In the mountains where I dare not go

And I struggled not to cry as the sewer closed your eyes

And the digger put the shovel to his hands

But I shed no tears even after all these years

That I spent running around with you

Though I must admit it hurt when they covered you with dirt

And they lowered you into the ground

Ooh, heavy heart of mine

Ooh, it's a heavy heart of mine

They said when you got killed that the wrong blood had been spilled

And the guilty slipped away into the night

Don't think I felt no shame when I denied to know your name

To the men that would've stolen my life

'Cause I still shed plenty tears even after all these years

That I spent running 'round without you

And now I'm gone for good and I think it's understood

That I ain't never coming back this way

Ooh, heavy heart of mine

Ooh, heavy heart of mine

Ooh, heavy heart of mine

Ooh, it's a heavy heart of mine
