I grew up near what they call the flats
Ain't too many people knows where it's at
Can't hear the highway, can't see a way out
I guarantee it ain't nothin' worth cryin' aboutDaddy left us all back in '91
Left us all wonderin' what it was we done
I'd stand in the yard and stare down the road
I guess I must have missed him now, I just don't knowGot the broken promises
Got the broken home
Don't break yourself on a
Heart of stoneI married a girl I met in Tennessee
The baby didn't make it, so neither did we
I still think about her but she's fadin' fast
It don't do no good to dwell on your pastGot the broken promises
Got the broken home
Don't break yourself on a
Heart of stoneWell, 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 onGot the broken promises
Got the broken home
Don't break yourself on a
Heart of stoneWell, 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"
Don't think about it much but I worry 'bout it someA heart of stone
Don't break yourself
On a heart of stone
Don't break yourself
On a heart of stone
