the heart that you own





(dwight yoakam)



I pay rent on a run-down place

There ain't no view but there's lots of space

In my heart

The heart that you own

I pay the rent

Pay it right on time

Baby i pay you every single dime

For my heart

The heart that you own



Used to be i could love here for free

Way back before you bought the property

Now i pay daily on what once was mine

Lord i probably owe you

For the tears the i cry

'cause i pay rent on a run-down place

There ain't no view but there's lots of space

In my heart

The heart that you own



I struggle each night to find a new way

To pay you what i owe

Just so i can stay

I ain't overdue

So you can't throw me out

I've loved here for years

Don't know where i'd go now



'cause i pay rent on a run-down place

There ain't no view but there's lots of space

In my heart

The heart that you own.



Extra



Yea, in my heart

The heart that you own
