Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken

He learned the saddle before he learned to walk, Learned to hold his horses and to hey y’all when he talked. Never let the world see tears in his eyes, Squintin at the sunset on another long day’s ride. Raised a couple kids, watched the seasons change Funny how the chairs rearrange A warm plate on the table Turned cold as winter came A man can lose a buckle, lose a ranch, Start from nothing without a helping hand. But losing a gal is hard to take Even if he bends and doesn’t break Maybe love’s sposed to ride off in the night Maybe hearts aren’t meant to fight Maybe she was always meant to say goodbye But lord he tried Sometimes things aren’t meant to be Sometimes if you get down on one knee But baby you left him out to dry That’s how you make a cowboy cry. His Stetson hid the tears streamin down his face Life has a way of puttin a man in his place He’d laugh around the fire like nothing’s wrong, Then drive around drunk and stoned. A man can lose a buckle, lose a ranch, Start from nothing without a helping hand. But losing a gal is hard to take Even if he bends and doesn’t break Maybe love’s sposed to ride off in the night Maybe hearts aren’t meant to fight Maybe she was always meant to say goodbye But lord he tried Sometimes things aren’t meant to be Sometimes if you get down on one knee But baby you left him out to dry That’s how you make a cowboy cry. Baby maybe mama tried But she made a cowboy cry. Baby maybe mama tried But she made a cowboy cry.

I’ve been up all night waiting for you to call Should I take another shot To break my fall You know you broke my heart Got no feelin at all Can’t talk to girls Without thinkin bout you Always on my mind Even as I drink until I’m blind Even when I’m hanging with the boys Even as I drown out all the noise Why can’t we make love like we used to do And make all of our dreams come true I know I’ll stumble and I’ll fall again I know I’m selfish and took you for granted But now I realize you’re the best thing that’s happened To me Is it worth trying Or have I lost you for good? Am I such a fool That would be so cruel? I had your love In the palm of my hand When you’d kiss me goodnight And I’d tuck you in Should I give up? Have you moved on? Do I stand a chance? Can I be your man?

If I ever run out of patience And lose sight of all of love’s graces And I forget to show you kindness If what I have should leave me blinded If I let my wanting grow to envy And think the world should owe me plenty And I let my foolish pride boast If I start believing I know most I will always love you I’ll protect and trust in you When the road ahead feels hopeless I’ll keep hoping we get through I’ll hold on through every hardship I’ll believe when doubt says not to Through all things, I will endure I will always love you If I ever get a little proud And I bring your name dishonor If I lose myself in self-seeking And silences that last too long But I don’t need a perfect story I just need one that’s true And every page I’ve yet to turn I want to live with you I will always love you I’ll protect and trust in you When the road ahead feels hopeless I’ll keep hoping we get through I’ll hold on through every hardship I’ll believe when doubt says not to Through all things, I will endure I will always love you And if someday you ask me After all that we’ve been through If I could go back and choose again I’d still come looking for you I’d take the hurt, I’d take the hard I’d take every dream that didn’t come true Just to have this life again And spend it loving you I will always love you Long after we’re gone When all we have are memories I’ll still be holding on And if forever has an ending There’s one thing I know is true Whatever waits beyond this life I will always love you Whatever waits beyond this life I will always love you

Look into your eyes baby you’re young Just conceived from your mothers womb Put you close to my heart, wipe the sweat from your brow Tell you to hush now, now don’t say a word I won’t let you go, I promise I swear I won’t cuss at your mum, put my anger at bay Rage the tide on a warm summer night Can’t wait to bear witness to who you might become Baby blue I’m your angel God sent me to you If I’m lucky you might rescue me too Baby blue God sent me to you If I’m lucky you might rescue me too Never thought this moment would come Now older I’ll tell you about how far I’ve come How I struggled to find myself Got lost in the mirror looking to the past Never though I'd ever get this chance To be a father with you in my arms Your mom lost a couple on the way I hope to see them in heaven some day Baby blue I’m your angel God sent me to you If I’m lucky you might rescue me too Baby blue God sent me to you If I’m lucky you might rescue me too

Was always afraid To tell you I love ya My heart was on fire But I kept my distance Didn’t want you catchin My crooked smile My dirty apartment My broken dishes Shame on me For not forgetting you I know you would’ve forgiven me But I can’t forgive myself I wished upon a shooting star That you’d cross my path And break my heart And we’d fall in love Like we’re supposed to And I sweep you up off of your feet Just like I do in my dreams And we’d live just like in the movies I hope you don’t Hold it against me Even if you don’t love me I’m sorry I’m weak like this But hope you understand Tonight can be our forever But trust your heart It knows better than me This is my chance I’ll tell you For the first time that I wished upon a shooting star That you’d cross my path And break my heart And we’d fall in love Like we’re supposed to And I sweep you up off of your feet Just like I do in my dreams And we’d live just like in the movies Mmm Mmm

Blue jean baby you got highway eyes, Gas tank full, chasing county skies. High heels tapping to the radio prayer, Run wild heart, as your light disappear Wheels keep turning, let the old love fade, Leave his memory somewhere on the interstate, Windows down, let the warm wind blow, No looking back, you got somewhere to go. Blue jean baby, don't outrun the dawn, Your fading light says leave me alone Wheels keep turning, let my old love go, Found a little freedom down an open road Windows down and your hair untied, Leave a little heartbreak at the county line Some hearts bloom under open skies You were never meant to stay the same. A photograph folded in your sundress strap, Corners worn soft from a summer gone past Small-town echoes in the rearview glass, One by one you watch the streetlights pass, The wind kept running fingers in your hair, Every mile give a little less care, Not every home is built from brick and stone; Sometimes it's the road that finally leads you home. When the morning paints the window in shades of gold, You’ll find the heart you were certain you had sold. Love isn't measured by the miles behind But by what you carry when you leave goodbye. Blue jean baby, let the engine sing, An open road gives your heart its wings, When the night lays diamonds along the way, You'll dance beneath them till the break of day, Blue jean baby, leave a little light, For the ones still searching for a sign Some hearts were born to wander free, And that's exactly who you're meant to be.

You’re a saint, you’re a saint Can’t complain in your grace I might tuck my chin I might hide my face I sin while i sing My mind’s always spinning Might spit while i speak While my tongue’s in my cheek Oh forgive me father And mother to me Born virgin to kings As you cradled me Gave me the kingdom That i didn’t deserve And forgave the hours I spent on myself Oh selfish i am Often judge by the flesh Of the fruit of the garden Of insatiable lust I ain’t the one But i act like i am The prophets were wrong I’m sorry i am

Woke up this morning On the wrong side of the road To the sound of my baby Crying “I don’t love you anymore” Bawling her eyes at the sight of me leavin I’d packed up my bags, one foot out the door In a cold, cold sweat I thought I might be Dreamin Never thought I’d be one to abandon my kid Too chicken to look her in the eye Balkin a bit, it shouldn’t end like this Feeling like shit I ain’t half the man That my daddy was or my mother raised Quittin on my daughter when the going got Tough All she really wanted was someone to love I shamed myself on the way out of town Feelin sorry for the man in the mirror Only can blame myself for who I am Always had angels around me just like in Heaven Stopped at the church for one last prayer God send me a message from way up there Told me he’d forgive me if I turned around And raised my daughter til I’s buried in the Ground Bawling out my eyes I’s forgiven

Morning finds me by the kitchen door Dust on my boots, but I’m afraid no more You lift your hands and call my name A little mercy warms this frame I don’t need riches, I don’t need gold Your steady kindness keeps me whole Come gather close, let the good news rise Hope in our hands and peace in our eyes When the long road bends and the hard wind blows Your faithful love is the way I know Grandma’s quilt on the wooden chair Your quiet prayer fills the air We share one story, we share one song You make a weary heart feel strong I don’t need riches, I don’t need gold Your steady kindness keeps me whole Come gather close, let the good news rise Hope in our hands and peace in our eyes When the long road bends and the hard wind blows Your faithful love is the way I know Lead me onward, keep me near Turn my doubt into courage here If I stumble, call me home With your grace, I’m not alone Come gather close, let the good news rise Hope in our hands and peace in our eyes When the long road bends and the hard wind blows Your faithful love is the way I know If you go searching, I’ll be right here Singing through the joy, singing through the tears Come gather close, let the good news rise Hope in our hands and peace in our eyes

Walk away and hang your head on the floor Try not to look into the past You might find what you’re looking for If you close your eyes, let the light guide ya Don’t worry now I’m here for you Tired and weary stranger I sing to you and lend you my halo Be still and receive the blessing Now pray with me, pray with me, guardian angel Pray with me, pray with me Gather round these christian mystics Make no mistake they’re here to fix this All is heard in due time The universe is listening Rearrange the path for you To answer all of your questions Pray with me, pray with me, guardian angel Pray with me, pray with me Gather round these christian mystics Make no mistake they’re here to fix this Now hush now baby don’t say a word God’s workin in your favor Good heart of gold, the right intentions But now we must let go Pray with me, pray with me, guardian angel Pray with me, pray with me Gather round these christian mystics Make no mistake we’re here to fix this Now pray with me, pray with me, guardian angel Pray with me, pray with me Gather round these christian mystics Make no mistake we’re here to fix this

It’s a jungle out there Got to guard your heart Keeper of the flame Set fire to our love The path is worn My clothes are tattered Meet me by the ravine When the torch turns to smoke Forever I believe That I’ll find in my dreams Just follow your heart my dear True love always finds a way back home Darkness is all I see Only hear your heart beat Can’t remember the sound Of your voice anymore Kiss me in the dark Let me see your face You’re my saving grace You’re my sweet embrace Don’t let me forget I’m losing my mind Got me worried sick I can hardly think Take a moment to breathe Feel my heart on your chest Will you take me back? Though I’ve got nothing left for you

We pull on the thread We hide from ourselves We whisper at night Trying to come undone We don’t tell our flaws We won’t tell our moms Too embarrassed to kiss How’d we end up like this? I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not I don’t lie but it’s fiction The stories we tell Believe me when I say this I’m going to hell The mask that I wear Is eating my face I’m falling from grace In this candle lit room I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not Touch me on my breast Breathe deeply and smile Breaking the mirror And worried mind Lost in the moment Please close your eyes Maybe I lied But this is my first time I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not I read you a book to turn you on Pretending to be someone I’m not Turning the pages trying to play the part Pretending to be someone I’m not
