Carolina Story - Lay Your Head Down Lyrics

“Lay Your Head Down”

Springtime came with a vengeance this year
The river rose high
The water ain’t clear
Springtime came with a vengeance this year
Come on in the water’s warm down here

My oh my how the time flies
When you’re stuck in a rut and you realize
My oh my how the time flies
Come on baby won’t you dry your eyes?

Lay your head down
In my lap now and
Tell me something I don’t know
Though you’re hurting
Take your burden
And put the load on me

Summertime came
Brought me whiskey and tears
Felt enough pain for the next five years
Summertime came
Brought me whiskey and tears
Take my hand
There ain’t no room here for fear

All I know is that I’m growing old
You can sleep when you’re dead so I am told
All I know is that I’m growing old
The sins of a man are much too heavy to hold

Lay your head down
In my lap now and
Tell me something I don’t know
Though you’re hurting
Take your burden
And put the load on me

Lay your head down
In my lap now and
Tell me something I don’t know
Though you’re hurting
Take your burden
And put the load on me

All I know is that I’m growing old
You can sleep when you’re dead so I am told
All I know is that I’m growing old
The sins of a man are much too heavy to hold
