Carryin’ Your Load - Keith Birmingham
01.23.2014
        E                     Em7
You get up in the morning
              E                       Em7
Long before the sun will shine.
              E                       Em7
You yawn and shake your head
              E                       Em7
And, try to get your thoughts in line.
            A7                    A            
Your runnin’ late for breakfast
              A7                  A
As you turn the coffee on.
  E                             Em7
Time is runnin’ from you,
                 E                      E7
And, it’s barely breakin’ dawn.

 B7                                        
You throw your truck in gear and
          A
You head out on the road.
          E                         E7
Your life is in the fast lane,
           E                  E7
And, your carryin’ your load.
          E                         E7
Your life is in the fast lane,
           E                  E7
And, your carryin’ your load.
           E                  E7
        E                       Em7
It’s twenty minutes later
                  E                       Em7
And, you  get to work on time.
                E                       Em7
But, the boss he doesn’t notice
                      E                Em7
‘Cause he’s busy on the line.
            A7                            A            
You reach the dock and punch the clock.
            A7                    A            
And, start the daily grind.
          E                            Em7
And, all the while your prayin’
                 E                       Em7
For the troubles on your mind.

B7
You work and toil the day away,
             A
While hoping for some rest.
          E                                      E7
But, knowing that it will not come,
     E                           E7
Unless you do your best.
          E                         E7
Your life is in the fast lane,
           E                  E7
And, your carryin’ your load.
           E                  E7
 E                     Em7
Twelve hours later,
                    E                    Em7
And, your boss you go to see.
       E                            Em7
He hands to you your paycheck,
               E                          Em7
And, he says that you are free.
            A7                    A            
You stumble to your truck to get,
            A7                    A            
Some rest before you leave.
            E                       Em7
Your ready for the weekend,
           E                 Em7
Your ready to be free.

 B7                                        
You throw your truck in gear and
          A
You head out on the road.
          E                         E7
Your life is in the fast lane,
           E                  E7
And, your carryin’ your load.
          E                         E7
Your life is in the fast lane,
           E                  E7
And, your carryin’ your load.
           E                  E7
