文本歌词

Sometimes Momma it can feel real heavy
When I think of the wrong
I have done
I don't know
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
Oh brass is heavy
steel is heavy
Lead even heavier still
Heaviest of all is
the weight on your soul
From the blood
of the man you've 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
Oh brass is heavy
steel is heavy
Lead even heavier still
Heaviest of all is
the weight on your soul
From the blood
of the man you've killed
