Lyrics
Setting sun falling through the sky
Into a low and lazy stare
Burns right through my weakened mind
Like some long ago love affair
One that set my world on fire
Taught a broken heart to heal
Loved her but I could not stay
My dreams they ride on painted steel
I was born to ramble 'round
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold that spirit down
Blind Billy sang for me a song
Play it again the chorus through
Sang the only gold that I worry on
Is the kind that comes before the rule
What's that got to do with me?
Could he see the darkness in my eyes?
Said won't nod and you'll be set free
All the means you fail to find
Gotta break them chains somehow
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold your spirit down
A heavy stone, a heavy, heavy stone
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold your spirit down
This world we got it's not our own
This life is just a long goodbye
Tomorrow is just a memory
Strung between the hands of time
But I don't let that bother me
'Cause I'm going home some sweet day
When they count my body six feet deep
Beneath that dark and ruddy clay
My soul then will be unbound
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold my spirit down
A heavy stone, a heavy, heavy stone
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold my spirit down
A heavy stone, a heavy, heavy stone
It's gonna take a heavy stone to hold my spirit down
