This Ole Heart

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
