Lyrics
Heavy Load
Headin' on down the road, don?t know what his future holds
Ridin? ?neath the big blue sky, when he gets home he?s gonna get high
He?s come on up from Mexico, he?s got his self a couple of Kilos
Oh...... he?s got a heavy load x2
He left his girlfriend all alone, waiting on in Sanantone
She used to be a beauty queen, but now she just looks tired and mean
Gettin? tired of waiting ?round, she goes to chase the dragon down
Oh...... she got a heavy load x2
Lead
When he walks in through that door, he finds her on the bedroom floor
Lying there so still and cold, dead at 25 years old
They?ve both been on a bad bad trip and now he?s gotta handle it
Oh...... he?s got a heavy load
