Met a hard-workin' gal from the mountains far from here Her hands were worn, beaten
Battered and torn But she's got fire and pride for all the work that she's done Have a drink, you've earned it, hon
Heavy on her mind is a lover that left her behind Darling, I don't mind, just don't waste my time
Now months go by, now you're sleepin' by my side But your past sneaks up and it keeps you up at night Now you come and you go with every bump in the road
Now you say, we're through tonight Now heavy on my mind is this lover that left me behind I should've seen it comin
But fools like me are blind, so blind Oh yes, fools like me are blind
Now I'm lovin' another gal But she don't mean a thing Because my past sneaks up and it keeps me up at night Ain't it funny how we've traded paths again
Now I know love's never meant Heavy on our minds is a lover that left us behind We should've seen it comin
But fools like us come around all the time Oh yes, fools like us are blind
