I'm out on the road
I bear a heavy load
I'm getting by
Eyes open wide

All that is new
Will surely fall through
There you will stand
My longtime special man

You call me heavy
Or you don't call at all
Squeezing my fingers
Up against the wall
We reached out heaven
It's a long way to fall
It's not you against the world
It's just you up against your long time girl

Have you tried to cry?
Or is it better to deny?
Cry in the night
My sweet lullaby

Too much good to lose
When you're back broken and boozed
You won't help yourself
Can't be nobody else
You call me heavy
Or you don't call at all
Squeezing my fingers
Up against the wall
We reached out heaven
It's a long way to fall
It's not you against the world
It's just you up against your long time girl
