[Verse 1]
You come knockin’ on my door with that sorrow in your eyes,
Bearing burdens from your world, underneath these stormy skies.
I’ve got my own shadows, chasin' through the night,
My heart’s barely holdin’ on, holdin’ on tight.
[Chorus]
So go on down the road with your troubles,
Leave them far from my front gate.
I’ve got enough of my own to wrestle,
Can’t shoulder yours too, mate.
Go on down the road with your worries,
Find another place to roam,
Cause I’m just tryin’ to clear my own storms,
Here in this heart, my home.
[Verse 2]
Your tales are like the wind, rustlin’ through the leaves,
They whisper of your pain, stirrin’ up my peace.
I’ve been down that road, walked it mile by mile,
I’m lookin’ for a break, just a reason to smile.
[Chorus]
So go on down the road with your troubles,
Leave them far from my front gate.
I’ve got enough of my own to wrestle,
Can’t shoulder yours too, mate.
[break beat]
Go on down the road with your worries,
Find another place to roam,
Cause I’m just tryin’ to clear my own storms,
Here in this heart, my home.
[Bridge]
Maybe somewhere down that highway,
You’ll find a place to lay them down,
But this weary heart’s no rest stop,
On the outskirts of this town.
[bass walk] [harmonica]
[Chorus]
So go on down the road with your troubles,
Leave them far from my front gate.
I’ve got enough of my own to wrestle,
Can’t shoulder yours too, mate.
Go on down the road with your worries,
Find another place to roam,
Cause I’m just tryin’ to clear my own storms,
Here in this heart, my home.
[Outro]
Yes, go on down that road,
Let the horizon take your blues,
I’m just here tryin’ to mend,
These worn and weary shoes.
[outro]
