Crooked Heart

I'm just trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 I don't do what I want to
 But I want to all the time
 Even with my best foot forward
 That leaves one left behind
 Trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 When I was young I was a stick just scratching the dust
 Trying to make a mark that would last
 But the wind's gonna blow and the kid's gonna grow
 And that line's gonna fade so fast
 Now I'm stubborn on a mission, trying to do it different
 But honestly I know
 I'm just trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 I don't do what I want to
 But I want to all the time
 Even with my best foot forward
 That leaves one left behind
 Trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 Crooked heart of mine
 It ain't broke but it bleeds and it's starting to rust
 Like my hand-me-down cross all covered with dust
 I know that it works 'cause at the end of the day
 I've got my knees on the floor and I'm starting to pray
 I've got a rattle in the dash, got a little stash
 Of things I can't quite change
 I'm just trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 I don't do what I want to
 But I want to all the time
 Even with my best foot forward
 That leaves one left behind
 Trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 Crooked heart of mine
 I try to stand on a rock but I always roll
 I got a soul full of slant that I can't let go
 With a little more time I hope you see
 A little more light than dark in me
 A little more light than dark in me
 I'm just trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 I don't do what I want to
 But I want to all the time
 Even with my best foot forward
 That leaves one left behind
 Trying to walk a straight line
 With a crooked heart inside
 Crooked heart of mine
 Crooked heart, my crooked heart now
 Crooked heart of mine
 Crooked heart of mine
