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
