(David Lee/Tony Lane)



If this ole heart

Was built like a truck

These Rocky ole roads wouldn't be so rough

And if it ever broke down I'd 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, 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 in trouble when it cares too much

Keeps 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 ole 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 ole tin roof

Beatin' by the rain, wheathered and used

A fresh coat of paint would make it good as new

If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof



But this ole heart is flesh and blood

Gets in trouble when it cares too much

Keeps 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 ole fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad

But this ole heart ain't made like that
