"Heavy Is The Head" lyrics
"Heavy Is The Head"
(feat. Chris Cornell)
[Chris Cornell:]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
[Zac Brown:]
Black dog
Drinks from the water
Trying to cool his tongue
Like the king
Finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls
Smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand, in the deep
Will drown you for your sins
It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
Pages keep on filling
Crying out
Ooh go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
The walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die
[Chris Cornell:]
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
[Zac Brown:]
Mad man
Blood on the altar
The Queen will have his head
His ghost will shake those rattling chains
Long after he's dead
No soul knows his trouble
High upon his throne
Loved by few and judged by many
He bears that weight alone
[Chris Cornell:]
It's a lifelong expedition
Second-guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
And the pages keep on filling
Crying out
Ooh go and wake the king
Call to arms
For those who kiss the ring
Stand your ground
Yeah the walls are coming down
It's do or die
Do or die
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it

You write her name on it, spin your tires on it

Dierks Bentley - "Am I The Only One" Well it was Friday in the p.m.
And just like every weekend
I was ready to throw down

Well wild man Willy said I like to...
Red Sun Rising - "Uninvited" Like anyone would be
I'm flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded man

Chevelle - "Face To The Floor" (I was just thinking...)
To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot
Fiddle inside your drawers
If we own the night, then spread it out
Or pack up without a clue
Well, caused by their own
WIN by default...
Little Big Town - "Tornado" Thought you'd change the weather
Start a little storm
Make a little rain
But I'm gonna do one better hide the sun until you pray
I'm a tornado looking for a soul to take
You're gonna see me coming...
