Men With Broken Hearts Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

You'll meet many just like me upon life's busy streets 

With shoulders stooped and heads bowed down and eyes that stare in defeat 

Or souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts 

Where a living death is all that's left for men with broken hearts 

Now you have no right to be the judge to criticize and condemn 

Just think but for the grace of God it'd be you instead of him 

One careless step a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts 

And to those who weep death comes cheap these men with broken hearts 

Oh so humble you should be when they come passin' by 

For it's written that the greatest men they never get too big to cry 

Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts 

And with hope all gone they walk alone these men with broken hearts 

Now you've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes 

Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies 

Some were propers and some were kings and some were masters of the arts 

But in their shame they're all the same these men with broken hearts 

You know life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death
