Mixed Up Mess Of A Heart Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart 

Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart 

I warned you a thousand times 

But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind 

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart 

Yeah, I watched her buy her tickets in Charlotte, North Carolina 

And I heard her say, "One-way, please, to Denver" 

She's goin' to meet that other guy and it won't do us no good to cry 

'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger 

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart 

Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart 

Yeah, I warned you a thousand times 

But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind 

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart 

Well, I watched her tip the porter 

As she stepped aboard that midnight train bound to take her faraway forever 

I watched the tail light fade away knowing she was goin' to stray 

And I wish this broken heart was leavin' with her
