Jesse Cardin - Beast Of Burden

Expectation, the yoke that I'm bearing
Rubs my shoulders raw
Looking down at my blood in the soil
The crimson spurs me on

Over and over I plod
Drag my feet nowhere
Even before it's gone wrong
Failure's in the air

In the field where it's always night
I saw a picture of the sun
I know someday I will feel the light
Amen, amen

Better be safe, better stay low
The nail that stands up gets hammered down
Just keep your faith, you'll reap what you sow
But every success can be turned around

In my mind, where it's always night
I dreamed a pasture in the sun
If I drive myself, I will feel the light
Amen, amen, amen, amen

You might say that my method is violent
But it's the safest way, you'll see
If nothing else, it keeps the driver silent
And keeps the whip off me
