Let the world fall over

I wish you wouldn't try
To carry it all on your shoulders
I wish you'd lay it down
And let the world fall over
Cause it's a world of hurt out there
And I wish that I could pick up everything you've got
Send it off to some far land and act like I forgot
I want to fill your world
With everything that's beautiful and
I want to spend the nights
Dancing til we can't stand
Like there's no world of hurt out there
I want to see you fly
When the weight comes off your shoulders
I want to hear you sing
When you stop rolling that boulder
And forget the world of hurt out there
But without the thunder and the rain
The flowers never bloom
Without pain we can't know love,
Without love we can't know pain
So even if I can't
Take the weight off your shoulders
Let me hold your hand
And keep us moving forward
Forget the world of hurt out there

Cowboy songs

You can't listen to a cowboy song on Las Vegas boulevard
It's been some time since cowboys roamed around these parts
If you listen hard you'll hear the twang of a steel guitar
But it's only a ghost that's been dressed up to look the part
It wasn't rock and roll that drove them off to the canyon lands
Or why they're rolling in their graves dug deep beneath the sands
But the palaces of plated steel and the earth caged up in glass
That were built upon that street and worshipped like a golden calf
They warned us long ago
About how this all would end
But we like to think we know
More than they knew then
They say that everything that's old Is one day new again
But we still think that we know
More than they knew then
So go ahead and sing yourself a good old cowboy song
About good-hearted women, and riding all night long
Tell yourself the whiskey goes down just like way back when
And through the bottom of the bottle, the world goes ‘round again
But something’s gone that can’t be brought back on a silver screen
And can’t be recreated for the younger ones to see
It’s the way they looked at sorrow, and at the happy times and pain
It’s all that they rejected when they moved out to the plains
