I was good to the man I loved
Tried my best to help carry his load
I was good to the man I loved
Tried my best to help carry his load
But you know it was all so heavy, my
Back it bends and folds

I keep my head held high
'Cause I know if i let it fall i'll cry
I keep my head held high
'Cause I know if i let it fall i'll cry
And all this weariness makes me heavy
So heavy I could die
I can't wait for you baby
I've been sinking in the mud
I can't wait for you baby
I've been sinking in the mud
Well, I'm done with that, ya know
I'm packing up my troubles and moving on
When I find that mountain breeze, I know I will find
Yeah, when I find that mountain breeze, I know I will find peace
Gonna unload my burdens
Let the salty sea set me free
I'll keep searching 'til i find it
I won't rest until I do
I'll keep searching 'til I find it
I won't rest until I do
I got the rest of my days
To get over you

You know, I tried to hard to hold on
I did everything I could
You know I tried
So hard to hold on
I did everything I could
But you let me slip away, baby
Just like I knew you would
