I can feel the grass bend under my feet
I can taste the air and I swear it was sweet
Gonna feel it blowing in the back of my mind
Forty-five, take me back to Walker County line
Whoa, I should have known. (x2)
Cause I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind.
I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind. 
It's weighing on me. (x2)
I want to get down, feel the dirt in my hands
Bone handle being worn out from working the land
I hear the crack from the fire and I know I'm alive
Flat on my back, looking up at a pinhole sky
Whoa, I should have known. (x2)
Cause I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind.
I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind. 
It's weighing on me. (x2)
Cause I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind.
I've got a, a heavy heart and a heavy mind
I sing a song for all I've gone and left behind. 
It's weighing on me. (x2)
