Lay It Down Songtext
von Kenny Rogers & The First Edition

Travelling down our different roads
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can′t let go
It's so hard to lay it down
Back in Eden we were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Trying hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Hide in me, confide in me
Don′t you think it's time to be
Everything we've tried to be
You and me should lay it down
Speak to me, be unashamed
There′s no time for playing games
After all we′re all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down


Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I might break the spell
Take us from our self made hell
And find a way to lay it down
Burdened by the things I've learned
Hurting cause I′m too concerned
None the less I confess I yearn
To find a way to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
Lay it down brother, lay it down
So hard to lay it down
