And freedom by design is so far gone I'll never make
And everything's so heavy that I think I want to leave it
And it's weight that I don't need I think it's time that I relieved it
Chorus:
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long
Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone
It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long
Well outside ain't so good today it's windy and it's raining
And it's been so bad so long that I can't say I see it changing
The talk that I've been subject to seems mostly unrelated
And these blues have been allowed to run/continue unabated
Chorus
Discouraged fingers with no follow through
No courage lingers like you want it to
Discouraged fingers with no follow through
Discouraged fingers with no love for you
Well these hands have always been too slow in the past
Reluctance greeted nearly every task
Now my old heart tells me he wants it done fast
Discouraged fingers they resist to the last
Chorus
The days are piling up and I don't know that I can take it And freedom by design is so far gone I'll never make And everything's so heavy that I think I want to leave it And it's weight that I don't need I think it's time that I relieved it Chorus: Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long Heavy and I'm leavin', heavy and I'm gone It's heavy and I'm leavin' here, so long Well outside ain't so good today it's windy and it's raining And it's been so bad so long that I can't say I see it changing The talk that I've been subject to seems mostly unrelated And these blues have been allowed to run/continue unabated Chorus Discouraged fingers with no follow through No courage lingers like you want it to Discouraged fingers with no follow through Discouraged fingers with no love for you Well these hands have always been too slow in the past Reluctance greeted nearly every task Now my old heart tells me he wants it done fast Discouraged fingers they resist to the last Chorus Explain Request ×
