The Weight
Deana Carter

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead

I just need some place where I can lay my head

Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?

He just grinned and shook my hand and 'No' was all he said


Take a load off Annie, take a load for free

Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me


I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide

When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side

I said, Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown

She said, I gotta go but my friend can stick around


Take a load off Annie, take a load for free

Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me


Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' that you can say

It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day

Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?

He said, Do me a favor, son

Won't ya stay an' keep Anna Lee company?



Take a load off Annie, take a load for free

Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me


Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog

He said, I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog

I said, Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man

He said, That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can


Take a load off Annie, take a load for free

Take a load off Annie, and you put the load right on me


I gotta catch a cannonball, now take me on down the line

My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time

Get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone


Take a load off Annie, take a load for free

Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me
