Heavy Load on the Range

Verse 1: The sun rises over fields of gold, But my heart's heavy, feelin' old, The taxman's comin', he don't play fair, Takin' all we've got, leavin' us in despair. Chorus: It's a heavy load on the range, Workin' hard but nothin' seems to change, Bills stack up and the debts, they grow, Feelin' trapped, with nowhere to go. Verse 2: Used to dream of harvests sweet, Now it's struggle just to make ends meet, The droughts, the floods, they take their toll, On a weary farmer's soul. Chorus: It's a heavy load on the range, Workin' hard but nothin' seems to change, Bills stack up and the debts, they grow, Feelin' trapped, with nowhere to go. Bridge: Some nights I sit and wonder why, Lookin' at the stars in the endless sky, Friends we've lost, who couldn't bear the weight, Gone too soon, it's a cruel fate. Verse 3: I hear their voices on the wind, Remindin' me to keep on again, We gotta stand strong, for those we love, And pray for mercy from above. Verse 3: I hear their voices on the wind, Remindin' me to keep on again, We gotta stand strong, for those we love, And pray for mercy from above. Chorus: It's a heavy load on the range, Workin' hard but nothin' seems to change, Bills stack up and the debts, they grow, Feelin' trapped, with nowhere to go. Outro: If you're out there feelin' low, Know you're not alone, we've all been there, though, Reach out, don't bear it all alone, Together, we'll find our way home. Outro: If you're out there feelin' low, Know you're not alone, we've all been down that road, Reach out, don't bear it all alone, Together, we'll find our way home.
