Big Old Shoulders |
| This is for the midnight voice of a 911 dial-up |
| The mouth to mouth, keep 'em alive |
| Or those who dig through the rubble, for one more survivor |
| For the Kentucky farmer with tobacco stains |
| Long-haul daddy leaving Texas for Maine |
| The Louisiana rancher praying for rain |
| Oh you carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| On your big old shoulders |
| For the boys in blue call to a domestic disturbance |
| The warrior wounded by rebel insurgence |
| For mothers' raw hands in dishwasher detergent |
| For the three-alarm firemen called at 4 AM |
| Shadetree mechanic gettin' her running again |
| The truck stop waitress reading Gone with the Wind, oh-oh |
| Oh you carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| On your big old shoulders |
| For the underpaid, overworked high school teacher |
| Old man with the garbage can cleaning up the bleacher |
| The marrying-burrying burned out preacher |
| For the children’s hospital 9th floor nurses |
| The angels that dress up as hospice workers |
| The healers of wounds, breakers of curses |
| Where it all falls apart you’re always strong |
| Just knowing you’re there keeps me holding on |
| The least I can do is sing you a song |
| 'Cause you carry the weight of the world |
| (Carry the weight of the world) |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| (Carry the weight of the world) |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| (Carry the weight of the world) |
| On your big old shoulders, oh now |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| You carry the weight of the world |
| On your big old shoulders, I know |
| On your big old shoulders, ah |
| Yeah, oh I know |
| You carry the world |
| You carry the world |
| Oh I know you got |
| You got big old shoulders |
