Void In My Heart Lyrics - John Mellencamp

There's a void in my heart 

I can't seem to fill. 

Been a parent, had three children 

And a big house on the hill. 

Hundred dollar in my pocket 

And it didn't buy a thing. 

Now there's a void in my heart 

And a hole in my dreams.

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Well I poured miles of concrete 

And strung wire for telephones, 

Dug ditches when I was a young boy 

When I first left my parents' home. 

Sang my songs for millions of people, 

Sang good and bad news, 

Now there's a void in my heart 

And a fire at my fuse. 

Well I did everything just like they said 

So I could find happiness. 

Went to school and got a college degree 

And at my job I did my best. 

As I sit here alone tonight 

I see a billion just like me 

With a void in their hearts and running from eternity.

There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill. 

I do charity work when I believe in the cause 

But in my soul it bothers me still. 

Hey, Lord, well you made me like I am. 

Can You heal this restlessness? 

Will there be a void in my heart 

When they carry me out to rest?
