You were carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders
and shrugging it off like it don't even matter
And I was caught holding a door for an old bowlegged stranger
He looked at me like i ain't done him a favor...
You were walking down the street in your patent leather
and wearing it out 'cause it looks better weathered
You were caught holding a door for an old bowlegged stranger
And he looked at you like he'd never been better...
Don't be angry
Don't be sad, don;t be blue
And why on earth should you do what god wants you to do
when he's got more than a few manuals from which to choose?
And the sadness you have is the love that you feel
trying to turn itself into something that's real...
You were carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders
and shrugging it off like it don't even matter
And i was caught holding a door for you in threatening weather
you looked at me like you'd never been better
