[Verse] Walkin' down a dusty road Sun is low the sky's on fire My shadow’s long my heart's in pain Ain't no love to lift me higher [Verse 2] Strummin' strings with all my might Every note’s a silent plea The night’s cold and the moon’s so bright Got the blues deep inside of me [Chorus] Oh the world’s a heavy load Dark clouds chase my dreams away But I got my six-string friend Together we find a way [Verse 3] Fingers dance on rusty strings Whisper secrets in the night From my soul a sad song springs In the shadows out of sight [Bridge] Lonely notes fill the air Each one cries a silent tear Got no fortune got no fame Just these blues and what’s near [Chorus] Oh the world’s a heavy load Dark clouds chase my dreams away But I got my six-string friend Together we find a way
