lyrics

Truckload of Bricks

I’ve got a truckload of bricks sitting on my collar, truckload of bricks just sitting on my collar,
Got truckload of bricks just sitting on my collar, can’t catch a break, a deal, or a dollar –
Come on, Baby, won’t you help me take a load off – help keep me safe from harm, oh,
Come on, Baby, won’t you help me take a load off – help me with your loving arms.

I’ve got a whole lot of rocks weighing down my pockets,
whole lot of rocks weighing down my pockets,
Got a whole lot of rocks weighing down my pockets,
My heart is in jail, won’t you help me unlock it?
Come on, Baby, won’t you do a gal a favor? Tell me it’ll be alright, now,
Come on, Baby, won’t you do a gal a favor? Help me make it through the night.

I’ve got a quick pile of sand underneath my feet now,
quick pile of sand right underneath my feet,
I’ve got a quick pile of sand underneath my feet, now
won’t you help me out, ‘cause I’m sinking down, down –
Come on, Baby, won’t you throw me a rope? I swear I’ll only use it to survive, now
Come on, Baby, won’t you throw me a rope? Help me make it out alive.

I’ve got a truckload of bricks sitting on my collar, truckload of bricks just sitting on my collar,
I’ve got truckload of bricks just sitting on my collar, can’t catch a break, a deal, or a dollar –
Come on, Baby, won’t you help me take a load off – help keep me safe from harm, oh,
Come on, Baby, won’t you help me take a load off – help me with your loving arms.
(Tell me it’ll be alright. And help me make it through the night.)
