Weight of the Gun |
| Sometimes momma, it can feel real heavy when I think of the wrong I have done |
| I don’t how I can carry this burden, all I feel is the weight of the gun |
| The weight of the gun |
| And the wrong I have done |
| I know this wasn’t what you planned for me. |
| Mothers have hopes for their sons |
| Along with the shame I have brought to the family, all I feel is the weight of |
| the gun |
| The weight of the gun |
| And the wrong I have done |
| My hands are empty, but my mind is filled with things that cannot be undone |
| How many years since I’ve lifted a pistol, but I still feel the weight of the |
| gun |
| The weight of the gun |
| Things that can’t be undone |
| The weight of the gun |
| And the wrong I have done |
| Well, brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still |
| Heaviest of all is the weight on your soul from the blood of the man you killed |
| A concrete cell is especially tough on a boy used to Montana sun |
| And the news that you’re gone that the warden delivered, makes me long for the |
| weight of the gun |
| The weight of the gun |
| The Montana sun |
| The weight of the gun |
| And the wrong I have done |
| Well, brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still |
| Heaviest of all is the weight on your soul from the blood of the man you killed |
