Heart Of Stone (12" Version)

Heart Of Stone - Chris Knight

(Heart of Stone)

I grew up near what they call the flats

Aint too many people knows where it's at

Can't hear the highway can't see a way out

I guarantee it aint nothin worth cryin about

Daddy left us all back in '91

Left us all wonderin what it was we done

I'd stand in the yard and stare down the road

I guess I must have missed how I just don't know

Got the broken promises

Got the broken home

Don't break yourself on a

Heart of stone

I married a girl I met in tennessee

The baby didn't make it, so neither did we

I still think about her but she's fadin fast

It don't do no good dwellin on the past

Got the broken promises

Got the broken home

Don't break yourself on a

Heart of stone

Well I call momma every now and then

To say I'm comin home but I don't know when

Well I ran into daddy but it's been so long

I don't tell momma, I don't let on

Got the broken promises

Got the broken home

Don't break yourself on a

Heart of stone

Well I got drunk with daddy just the other night

He said "he was glad to see I turned out alright"

I hear people sayin "like father like son"

Don't think about it much but I worry bout it some

A heart of stone

Don't break yourself

On a heart of stone

Don't break yourself

On a heart of stone
