[Chorus]
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load'
[Verse 1]
Some walking through the hotel door
And one or two or three or four
Some walking home with shoulders bowed
None made to carry such a heavy load
[Chorus]
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load'
[Verse 2]
And you have to deal with what you've got
You can chose your time or maybe not
Turn left or right down a gravel road
None made to carry such a heavy load
[Chorus]
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load'
[Verse 3]
In a motel room the darkened night
And the years went down in the fading light
And thе streetlight shines on a empty road
None madе to carry such a heavy load
[Chorus]
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load
Rich or poor or young or old
Some of us carry a heavy load'
