Heavy hands and heavy hearts

Ashley told me I dream too big
While she has sank her toes into the southern soil
Sprouted roots and branched out her local investments
That I was a leaf getting caught on every wind
I never felt light
With this heavy body as my anchor
I thought I would stay in Greensboro, love her
She wouldn’t have met,
She could see how I restless I was
Knew it was only a matter of time
Till my feet sprouted wings, carried me off
While she was stuck behind, in the mud
