What if I was to tell you that I've always loved you
But you might never see me again
That the wide open road is the last place I know
A grown man can still play pretend
Like He ain't just some guy like it'll all be right
Like he don't plan on runnin' away
How I wish it were true but I'd be lyin' to you
If I made you some promise to stay
Take all your distant belongings, ball caps, class rings
Worn shoes, flat tires, steel pans, and big dreams
Go talk to the man who buys broken down things
And sell him a piece of your heart
Well now she's off to the races all dolled up in graces
Pretty as a June Christmas tree
Headed to find her a one night reminder
Why she don't wear no hearts on her sleeve
All that I know is that white petal roses
Look prettiest before wilting away
So shine baby shine drink up all the wine
Don't let no one tell you you can't
Throw out the laundry let it wash in the rain
Wet trash, coal fired, lactose migraine
Go talk to the man who buys broken down things
Sell him a piece of your heart
Now there's a Tennessee sunrise pouring in daylight
Free as a bull from his pen
And all I can think of is you shit canned and mad love
I'm just glad to see you again
And I thought you should know that I've stitched up my soul
And framed it in gold on the wall
So when the train come to town and they tear this place down
There'll be something still left to hang on
Cold cups of coffee, in the Uhaul mobile
Stay back, wide load, sharp turns uphill
Go talk to the man, let him cut you a deal
And sell him a piece of your heart, oh babe
Go on and sell him a piece of your heart
