This Old Heart Lyrics

[Verse]
I've been drowning
Down and out and
Givin' myself a good draggin' around and
Living my life like an old country song, for too long
I've been lonesome
And out their on some world class benders that can get you put in Folsom
Just feel like a little opportunity, is what I need

[Chorus]
This old heart's been kicked around
This old heart's had all it can take
It needs a little less wrecking and a lot more affection
Some loving and a little less ache
This old heart
This old heart
This old heart
Needs a break

[Verse]
So can I dance with you
Take a chance with you
Maybe start a running through the rain, romance with you
Baby, catch our own little winning streak, you and me

[Chorus]
This old heart's been kicked around
This old heart's had all it can take
It needs a little less wrecking and a lot more affection
Some loving and a little less ache
This old heart
This old heart
This old heart
It needs a break
Yeah, I need a break
[Bridge]
I need three lucky sevens
To fall out of heaven right in my lap, just like that
And I've got a feeling my luck could change with you, yes I do

[Chorus]
This old heart's been kicked around
This old heart's had all it can take
It needs a little less wrecking and a lot more affection
Some loving and a little less ache
This old heart
This old heart
This old heart
Needs a break
Yeah, it needs a break
Yeah, I need a break

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
