I grew up near what they call the flats Ain't too many people knows where it's at Can't hear the highway, can't see a way out I guarantee it ain't 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 him now, 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 to dwell on your 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.
