"Weight Of The Gun" lyrics

Corb Lund Lyrics

"Weight Of The Gun"

Sometimes momma, it can feel real heavy when I think of the wrong I have done
I don't how I can carry this burden, all I feel is the weight of the gun
The weight of the gun
And the wrong I have done

I know this wasn't what you planned for me. Mothers have hopes for their sons
Along with the shame I have brought to the family, all I feel is the weight of the gun
The weight of the gun
And the wrong I have done

My hands are empty, but my mind is filled with things that cannot be undone
How many years since I've lifted a pistol, but I still feel the weight of the gun
The weight of the gun
Things that can't be undone
The weight of the gun
And the wrong I have done

Well, brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still
Heaviest of all is the weight on your soul from the blood of the man you killed

A concrete cell is especially tough on a boy used to Montana sun
And the news that you're gone that the warden delivered, makes me long for the weight of the gun
The weight of the gun
The Montana sun
The weight of the gun
And the wrong I have done

Well, brass is heavy, and steel is heavy, lead even heavier still
Heaviest of all is the weight on your soul from the blood of the man you killed
