Lyrics
Wounded Heart
As I recall he was a proud man
Too tall to lift her up
Too strong to help her to stand
And when the promises were left undone
she caught the midnight train
Left him the dog and the gun
ItÕs a bad time for a broken angel, itÕs a
battle ground making every yard
She says itÕ fine, sheÕs down with changing
But you canÕt hide a wounded heart
You canÕt hide a wounded heart
ThereÕs a road out where we used to ride
Out past the radio tower, behind the county line
And there were hills as far as you could see
out past that mountain top
where that road used to lead
Now itÕs a bad time for broken angel, itÕs a
battle ground making every yard
She says itÕs fine, sheÕs down with changing
But you canÕt hide a wounded heart
You canÕt hide a wounded heart
ItÕs a sad time, itÕs a sorry time, the kind that
gives new meaning to the meantime
And thereÕs nothing left that a soul can do
except to step right on through it
Now there are stories that are sometimes told
but they donÕt do you no good, when they become your own
And there are days that youÕre afraid to face
with lessons rung so true, that theyÕve become cliches
Now itÕs a bad time for a broken angel, itÕs a
battle ground making every yard
She says itÕs fine, she;s down with changing
But you canÕt hide a wounded heart
You canÕt hide a wounded heart
