Lay It on Down
Sad yellow bird, coal smudged eyes
Twice bitten, ten times shy
Gold gilded cage, door open wide
Can't trust your wings, too scared to fly
Who broke your will now, honey?
Who stole your dreams like money?
Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around?
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
You flew for a while with king pins and kings
They'd snap their fingers and you'd sing
They'd take what they want and tell you sweet lies
In the cold bed of dawn, leave you to cry
Who broke your will now, honey?
Who stole your dreams like money?
Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around?
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Twice bitten, ten times shy
Gold gilded cage, door open wide
Can't trust your wings, too scared to fly
Who broke your will now, honey?
Who stole your dreams like money?
Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around?
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
You flew for a while with king pins and kings
They'd snap their fingers and you'd sing
They'd take what they want and tell you sweet lies
In the cold bed of dawn, leave you to cry
Who broke your will now, honey?
Who stole your dreams like money?
Who made you think you weren't worth keepin' around?
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
Well, I know you're still worth saving
Give a poor boy a chance to take that
Weight of the world you been draggin' around
Lay it on down (down, down)
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
Lay it on down
