"Heart Of Stone" lyrics - 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

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 don't 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
