Well, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me
Yeah, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me
I been lookin in the sand near this lonely Rio Grande
I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me
Well I crossed the river into an honest land
Just to resurrect the boy who died a man
Picking pieces of the past I would hope to make it last
But that's beaten up my heart you took from me
Well, sweet smilin gal, Lord I'm trying don't you see
To suck the only love left out of me
Well I'm just growing old with a hole deep in my soul
Won't you give me back that heart you took from me
Well, I hope one day that I will understand
Yeah, I hope one day that I will understand
All the makings of a heart from the finish to the start
Gonna build myself that heart you took from me
And if I do, then will you take my hand
And if I do, then will you take my hand
I been walking through the valleys, all the deserts and dark alleys
I'm just waitin on the day you take my hand
Well if I were an engineer I'd drive this train away from here and manifest my destiny at sea
And I'd hop a ship and sing along the signal of the song
About the girl that took the heart right out of me
Well, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me
Yeah, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me
I been lookin in the sand near this lonely Rio Grande
I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me
And I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me
Well, I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me
