Lyrics

[Verse 1] This thing trips On the shortest of lips And when the winter wind is blowing cold I got a big old heart One malicious remark Just might hit me like a lightning bolt [Chorus] They said I was shakin' from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know, I'm a shy boy [Verse 2] I'm headed to the wall at the top of the step Feeling like a smoking gun Talking to the voices that don't talk back It's you and me that I'm running from [Chorus] They said I was shakin' from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know, I'm a shy boy [Verse 3] A little baby cries out when he meets the world A new day fears the setting sun Talking to strangers always scared me to death And now here I am a-talking to one [Chorus] They said I was shakin' from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know, I'm a shy boy [Verse 4] Can you truly take This fear away? I keep it under lock and key What if I make a mistake? I might not know what to say Why do you put this burden on me? [Chorus] They said I was shakin' from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know, I'm a shy boy
