Heart Of Stone Lyrics - Heart Of Stone - Chris Knight

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' about 

Daddy 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 know 

Got the broken promises 

Got the broken home 

Don't 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 she's fadin' fast 

It don't do no good to dwell on your past 

Got the broken promises 

Got the broken home 

Don't 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 

Don't 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" 

Don't think about it much but I worry 'bout it some 

A heart of stone 

Don't break yourself 

On a heart of stone 

Don't break yourself 

On a heart of stone
