Rodney Crowell Heartbroke written by Guy Clark

Emory Gordy bass

Hank DeVito steel guitar

Albert Lee guitar

Tony Brown piano

Larrie Londin drums

Larry Willoughby vocals

Who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes

Or the bitter directions of impending goodbyes

I'm fallen and folded I'm wilted in place

At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

You got your heartbroke running from the reason

Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me

Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely

Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield

But all is not lost it is only mistaken

That's small consolation but I know just how you feel

You got your heartbroke running from the reason

Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me

Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke

Well nobody said it was going to be easy

We all have our weak side that need a softer touch

But nobody said that it wouldn't be worth it

The human condition continues as such

You got your heartbroke running from the reason

Heartbroke don't give up on believing in me

Heartbroke who kept me from leaving with my heartbroke
