Lightening The Load

Porter Wagoner

© Porter Music, BMI

In this fast moving word that we're living
When my mind feels heavy from the load
As the problems of life overtake us
Darling you always lighten the load

Thank you for love that's much greater
And much stronger than the problems we know
And thank you for loving your man that walks a hard road
Darling thank you for lightening the load

When my shoulder's bent to hard labor
And I've worked till my back is bowed
Then your loving hands reach to hold me
Darling you always lighten the load

Thank you for love that's much greater...
Darling thank you for lightening the load
