Lighten Your Load Lyrics - Through The Woods: An Appalachian Adventure Album - The Okee Dokee Brothers

Ain't it a little bit funny 

What you think you need 

To climb a hill 

And succeed 

You bring the kitchen sink 

On down the road 

When all you really need 

Is a lighter load 

Ya gotta lighten your load, kid 

When ya hit the road 

I woulda thunk you'd knowed, kid 

Ya gotta lighten your load 

Ain't it a little bit funny 

What you think you need 

To write a song 

And succeed 

That kitchen sink 

Ain't no fountain of youth 

All you really need 

Is the simple truth 

Ain't it a little bit funny 

What we think we need 

To live a life 

And succeed 

We take a little of this 

We take a lot of that 

When all we really need 

Is to give it all back 

Final We gotta lighten our load, kid 

When we hit the road 

You would've thunk we'd knowed, kid 

We gotta lighten our load 

We gotta lighten our load 

We gotta lighten our load
