Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Lay It On Down lyrics

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 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 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 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 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 Lay it on down 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 Lay it on down Lay it on down Lay it on down Lay it on down Lay it on down
