Broken Heart Land

How did your past get stuck in a pawnshop
 Seems everything you owned is held in hock
 At the only store open on this whole downtown block
 On a shelf next to records and pistols
 I found your old guitar
 I saw your Chevy Nova down at the salvage yard
 We got heartaches all around
 We got miles of rusted towns
 I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands
 Factories crumble away
 Like the long gone glory days
 Of a broken heart land
 Down in the alley by a warehouse
 I found a painting on a wall that you did
 You wrote your name in letters six feet high
 So there's no mistaking this is where you lived
 Dreams you had
 Thought they would all come true
 But they just faded out like this old picture you drew
 We got heartaches all around
 Got miles of rusted towns
 I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands
 Farmland just blows away
 Like the long gone glory days
 Of a broken heart land
 So I threw your old guitar off the bridge into the river
 Driftwood taking on water slipping away

 We got heartaches all around

 I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands
 Farmland just blows away
 Like the long gone glory days
 Of a broken heart land
 It's a broken heart land
