Piece of Your Heart

What if I was to tell you that I've always loved you
 But you might never see me again
 That the wide open road is the last place I know
 A grown man can still play pretend
 Like He ain't just some guy like it'll all be right
 Like he don't plan on runnin' away
 How I wish it were true but I'd be lyin' to you
 If I made you some promise to stay
 Take all your distant belongings, ball caps, class rings
 Worn shoes, flat tires, steel pans, and big dreams
 Go talk to the man who buys broken down things
 And sell him a piece of your heart
 Well now she's off to the races all dolled up in graces
 Pretty as a June Christmas tree
 Headed to find her a one night reminder
 Why she don't wear no hearts on her sleeve
 All that I know is that white petal roses
 Look prettiest before wilting away
 So shine baby shine drink up all the wine
 Don't let no one tell you you can't
 Throw out the laundry let it wash in the rain
 Wet trash, coal fired, lactose migraine
 Go talk to the man who buys broken down things
 Sell him a piece of your heart
 Now there's a Tennessee sunrise pouring in daylight
 Free as a bull from his pen
 And all I can think of is you shit canned and mad love
 I'm just glad to see you again
 And I thought you should know that I've stitched up my soul
 And framed it in gold on the wall
 So when the train come to town and they tear this place down
 There'll be something still left to hang on
 Cold cups of coffee, in the Uhaul mobile
 Stay back, wide load, sharp turns uphill
 Go talk to the man, let him cut you a deal
 And sell him a piece of your heart, oh babe
 Go on and sell him a piece of your heart
