about

A discovery of more secrets and a series of horrendous actions unfolded that left me in shock, abused, displaced and bankrupt. Thank you to the kind souls who gave me space to lay my troubles down and help me when I was too messed up and exhausted to help myself.

lyrics

Thank you for letting me crash on your bed
Thank you, I need to rest my weary head
Man left me in a mess, woman kicked me to the ground
I need to lay my troubles down

Thank you for opening your door
Thank you, thought I might stay one night more
Man left me in this strife, woman kicked me to the ground
I need to lay my troubles down

Lay my troubles down (too tired to fight)
Lay my troubles down (in the morning it’ll be alright)
Lay my troubles down – (just for tonight)
I need to lay my troubles down

Thank you for feeding me these meals
Thank you for loaning me these wheels
I need four walls and a roof over my head
in a home to call my own with a bed

Back seat, it’s another night in this car
Back seat, home is close and yet so far
Man left me in this strife, woman kicked me to the ground
I need to lay my troubles down

Lay my troubles down...

Said I’m bone tired and weary, heartsick and blue
Nothing been the same since I saw you
Doing those things a grown man shouldn’t do
Said I’m bone tired and weary, heartsick and blue
I need to lay my troubles down...
Lay my old bones down
