Lyrics

What Are You Carrying?
by Michael Shorr

Pull the car off of the highway
Onto the dirt beside the bridge
Tug the latch up on the parking brake
as I look up to Chapman's Ridge.

Take your hand and squeeze it tight
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Dress you wear is fitting tight
Babe inside you is getting older.

I pop a beer and drink it down
You take a sip of cooling water.
We're almost back in our hometown
With a son or with a daughter

Take your hand and squeeze it tight
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Dress you wear is fitting tight
Babe inside you is getting older.

Chorus:
And I say "Hey, What Are You Carrying?
Is that a little bit of me and you inside?
Hey, What Are You Carrying?
Who are you taking for a ride?

I pray to God and give my thanks.
For this miracle we share
For the joy in all our pranks.
Another soul is in our care.

Take your hand and squeeze it tight
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Dress you wear is fitting tight
Babe inside you is getting older.

Chorus

Pull the car off of the highway
Onto the dirt beside the bridge
Tug the latch up on the parking brake
as I look up to Chapman's Ridge.

Take your hand and squeeze it tight
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Dress you wear is fitting tight
Babe inside you is getting older.

Chorus
