From the recording This Ole Heart
Lyrics
This Ol’ Heart Tony Lane David Lee Verse: If this Ol’ Heart, was built like a truck These rocky ol’ roads wouldn't be so rough And if it ever broke down, I could patch it up If this Ol’ Heart, was built like a truck Verse: If this Ol’ Heart, was made like a train A lot of smoke and steel, wouldn't feel no pain And it wouldn't look back, as it rolled away If this Ol’ Heart was made like a train Chorus: But this Ol’ Heart is flesh and blood Gets in trouble when it cares too much Keeps a hangin' on when it oughta give up on something that's past I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings 'Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged ole fallin' out of love wouldn’t hurt so bad But this Ol’ Heart ain't made like that Verse: If this Ol’ Heart was like an old tin roof Beaten by the rain weathered and used A fresh coat of paint make it good as new If this Ol’ Heart was like an ole tin roof Chorus: But this Ol’ Heart is flesh and blood Gets in trouble when it cares too much Keeps a hangin' on when it oughta give up on something that’s past I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings 'Cause I could sure use just one of those things Then this danged ole fallin' out of love wouldn’t hurt so bad But this Ol’ Heart ain't made like that Tag: 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 Ol’ Heart ain't made like that
