Carrying That Load

Ain't nothing heavier than a hurtin' heart
It's been weighing me down since we've been apart
But I've been (carryin' that load)
(Carryin' that load)
I've been carryin' that load alone

Well, it's slowing me down
Got me draggin' my shoes
And now I'm stuck with those Rhode Island blues

But I've been (carryin' that load)
Yeah (carryin' that load)
I've been carryin' that load alone (yes I will)

And even when the sun comes out shining down
My days are lonely and dreary
And the only way skies could light up
Is you come over and sleep right near me
If you never come home

Oh well, we've had our fun
And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done
But I've been (carryin' that load)
Yeah (carryin' that load)
I've been carryin' that load alone

Even when the sun comes out shining down
My days are lonely and dreary
And the only way skies could light up
Is you come over and sleep right near me
If you never come home

Oh well, we've had our fun
And I'll be thinking on it till my days are done
But I've been (carryin' that load)

I've been (carryin' that load)
I'm gonna (carryin' that load)
Ooh yeah (carryin' that load)
I'm gonna keep on (carryin' that load)

Ooh yeah (carryin' that load)
(Carryin' that load)
(Carryin' that load)
(Carryin' that load alone)
Ooh, yeah
