Laying Down My Burdens

Verse 1

Old church bells are ringing

Down the hollow road again

Mama's hands are praying

For the boy I used to be

Every Sunday morning

I keep looking toward that light

Hoping that the steps I take

Will finally lead me right

Chorus

Let me walk that high road home

Where the sun comes up so bright

Lord I been a wandering soul

But I'm coming back tonight

Let me hear the angels sing

Let that good book pull me near

Oh I'm laying down my burdens

And I'm leaving all my fear

Verse 2

I got dust on my collar

And a heavy weight inside

Ran so far from glory

Nowhere left to hide

But the old oak pew

Still keeps my name in line

And every tear I shed

Is a prayer you're gonna find

Chorus

Let me walk that high road home

Where the sun comes up so bright

Lord I been a wandering soul

But I'm coming back tonight

Let me hear the angels sing

Let that good book pull me near

Oh I'm laying down my burdens

And I'm leaving all my fear

Bridge

I can hear my mother calling

From the morning I was young

Saying son put down the trouble

Let the joyful noise be sung

Chorus

Let me walk that high road home

Where the sun comes up so bright (yes it does)

Lord I been a wandering soul

But I'm coming back tonight

Let me hear the angels sing

Let that good book pull me near

Oh I'm laying down my burdens

And I'm leaving all my fear

Outro

Leaving all my fear

Leaving all my fear

Lord I'm coming home
