Intro: Verse Now you're gone must be three years long I still feel it in this heart of mine This heavy heart of mine seems to waste no time facing burden in this troubled lonesome soul Well the troubles that you find in the things I left behind when you rode off in the dark that night And now you're gone for good and I think it's understood that you ain't ever coming back this way Interlude Verse They found in you those mines hiding deep within those pines in the mountains where I dare not go And I struggled not to cry as the soil closed your eyes and the digger put the shovel to his hands But I shed no tears even after all these years that I've spent running 'round with you Oh I must have made it hurt as they covered you in dirt and they lowered you into the ground Ohhh heavy heart of mine Ohhh it's a heavy heart of mine Interlude Verse They said when you got killed that the wrong blood had been spilled and the guilty slipped away into the night Don't think I felt no shame when I denied to know your name to the man that would've stolen my life And I still shed many tears even after all these years that I spent running 'round without you And now I'm gone for good and I think it's understood that I ain't ever coming back this way Ohhh heavy heart of mine Ohhh heavy heart of mine Ohhh heavy heart of mine Ohhh it's a heavy heart of mine Outro
