"Big Old Shoulders"
[00:07.55] This is for the midnight voice of a 911 dial-up
[00:13.05] The mouth to mouth, keep 'em alive
[00:16.69] Or those who dig through the rubble, oh one more survivor
[00:25.43] For the Kentucky farmer with tobacco stains
[00:30.50] Long-haul daddy leaving Texas for Maine
[00:34.69] The Louisiana rancher praying for rain
[00:42.93] Oh you carry the weight of the world
[00:47.85] You carry the weight of the world
[00:52.37] You carry the weight of the world
[00:55.33] On your big old shoulders
[01:00.85] For the boys in blue call to a domestic disturbance
[01:05.74] The warrior wounded by rebel insurgence
[01:09.95] For mothers' raw hands in dishwasher detergent
[01:18.40] For the three-alarm firemen called at 4 AM
[01:23.29] Shadetree mechanic in there running again
[01:27.53] The truck stop waitress reading Gone with the Wind, oh-oh
[01:35.57] Oh you carry the weight of the world
[01:40.81] You carry the weight of the world
[01:45.28] You carry the weight of the world
[01:48.32] On your big old shoulders
[02:11.21] For the underpaid, overworked high school teacher
[02:15.79] Old man with the garbage can cleaning up the bleacher
[02:20.07] The marrying-burrying burned out preacher
[02:28.56] For the children's hospital 9th floor nurses
[02:33.71] The angels that dress up as hospice workers
[02:38.15] The healers of wounds, breakers of curses
[02:46.56] Where it falls apart you're always strong
[02:51.37] Just knowing you're there keeps me holding on
[02:55.26] The least I can do is sing you a song
[03:03.86] 'Cause you carry the weight of the world
[03:06.85] (Carry the weight of the world)
[03:08.89] You carry the weight of the world
[03:11.36] (Carry the weight of the world)
[03:12.32] You carry the weight of the world
[03:16.45] On your big old shoulders, oh now
[03:21.50] You carry the weight of the world
[03:26.51] You carry the weight of the world
[03:30.40] You carry the weight of the world
