Colby Acuff - Heavy Hearted Man Lyrics

Heavy is the heart that wanders
Plagued to forever ponder
Where will he be when the world sees
What his fear's already conjured

Fate is a cruel mistress
But there's no need for distress
The rain and gloom, there's a flower bloom
Just be patient as the sun sets

So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go
This rambling man wants to settle down
It's time to come home
Could you keep me on my feet
'Cause I can hardly stand
Yeah, the weight's too much to bear
For one heavy hearted man

She's honest, she is kind
A queen with a jester by her side
She knows that life comes in stride
She is patience over pride

Her light heart holds the burden
With grace and self-assurance
Her lighter soul hauls a heavier load
And it weighs upon my conscience

So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go
This rambling man wants to settle down
It's time to come home
Could you keep me on my feet
'Cause I can hardly stand
Yeah, the weight's too much to bear
For one heavy hearted man

Heavy is the heart than wanders
Never knowing how he got there
He's the king of clowns with a paper crown
On a road that leads to nowhere

So oh, my sweet dear, please don't go
This rambling man wants to settle down
It's time to come home
Could you keep me on my feet
'Cause I can hardly stand
Yeah, the weight's too much to bear
For one heavy hearted man
