A troubled heart and a troubled mind Is all I'm gonna leave behind I'm movin' on down the line Don't shout me down I'm doin' fine You've been hard and heavy on my soul Gotta lighten the load and let you go Life's too short, ain't got the time For a troubled heart and a troubled mind Got a v-8 Ford slung low to the ground Got a highway leading me outta town A road map open to the promised land I've taken just about as much as I can stand A troubled heart and a troubled mind Is all I'm gonna leave behind I'm movin' on down the line Don't shout me down I'm doin' fine You've been hard and heavy on my soul Gotta lighten the load and let you go Life's too short, ain't got the time For a troubled heart and a troubled mind Windshield wiper slappin' off the rain Bright lights shinin' on the passin' lane One more mile, one less tear So long Daddy I'm outta here A troubled heart and a troubled mind Is all I'm gonna leave behind I'm movin' on down the line Don't shout me down I'm doin' fine You've been hard and heavy on my soul Gotta lighten the load and let you go Life's too short, ain't got the time For a troubled heart and a troubled mind
