Lyrics
I've got a heavy heart and troubled mind
and a soul in search of something
I can't seem to find
I'm ready now guess I wasn't ready then
I've been all through hell but now I'm back again
take me away lord take me away
let the mighty winds of joy breath into my heart today
take me away lord take me away
i want to lay my burden down take me away
i've been angry lord i've been untrue
done my share of drinking and honky tonkin too
burned the bridges down been the sinnin kind
but when the sun came up this morning
i had angles on my mind
take me away lord take me away
let the mighty winds of joy breath into my heart today
take me away lord take me away
i want to lay my burden down take me away
i can see that freedom bridge it leeds all the way to glory
you know everything i did still you lay it out before me
take me away lord take me away
let the mighty winds of joy breath into my heart today
take me away lord take me away
i want to lay my burden down take me away
i want to lay my burden down
get my knees back on the ground
and hear them angle sounds
take me away
