If this ole heart was built like a truck These rocky old roads wouldn't be so rough And if it ever broke down I could patch it up If this ole heart was built like a truck
If this ole heart was made like a train A lot of smoke and steel, I wouldn't feel no pain And it wouldn't look back as it rolled away If this ole heart was made like a train
But this ole heart is flesh and blood Gets into trouble when it cares too much Keeps it hangin' on when it ought to give up On somethin' that's passed
I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings 'Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged old fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad But this ole heart ain't made like that
If this ole heart was like an old tin roof Beaten by the rain, weathered and used A fresh coat of paint would make it good as new If this ole heart was like an old tin roof
But this ole heart is flesh and blood Gets in trouble when it cares too much Keeps it hangin' on when it ought to give up On somethin that's passed
I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings 'Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged old fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad But this ole heart ain't made like that Oh this ole heart ain't made like that.
