Heart Of Stone Lyrics

by Chris Knight

I grew up near what they call the flats
Ain't too many people knows where its at
Can't hear the highway can't see a way out
I guarantee it ain't nothin worth cryin about

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e126656-chris_knight~heart_of_stone_lyrics.html ]
Daddy left us all back in '91
Left us all wonderin what it was we done
Id stand in the yard and stare down the road
I guess i must have missed how i just dont know

Got the broken promises
Got the broken home
Dont break yourself on a
Heart of stone

I married a girl I met in Tennessee
The baby didn't make it, so neither did we
I still think about her but shes fadin' fast
It don't do no good to dwell on the past

Got the broken promises
Got the broken home
Dont break yourself on a
Heart of stone

Well I call Momma every now and then
To say I'm comin' home but I don't know when
Well I ran into Daddy but it's been so long
I don't tell Momma, I don't let on

Got the broken promises
Got the broken home
Dont break yourself on a
Heart of stone

Well I got drunk with Daddy just the other night
He said he was glad to see i turned out alright
I hear people sayin' "like father like son"
Dont think about it much but I worry 'bout it some

A heart of stone
Dont break yourself
On a heart of stone
Dont break yourself
On a heart of stone
