Oh you, poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times but you wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heartYeah, I watched her buy a ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina
I heard her say, "One way please to Denver"
She's goin' to meet that other guy, it won't do us no good to cry
'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her fingerOh you, poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times but you wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heartI watched her tip the porter as she stepped aboard
That midnight train bound to take her faraway forever
And I watched the tail light fade away knowing she was gone to stray
And now I wish that's broken heart was leavin' with her
