Dwight Yoakam really knows how to turn heartache into a full-time job, rent included! This tune is all about a love that's left him paying emotional dues on what was once a comfy dream home. Our cowboy crooner can't seem to evict the memory of his ex, even though she's jacked up the emotional rent sky-high. He's stuck in a rundown apartment of his heart with no view but plenty of regrets. Yoakam’s clever metaphor of paying for love’s lost property hits home—pun fully intended. #LoveForeclosure #EmotionalRent
The Heart That You Own
Lyrics
I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby I pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own
Used to be I could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now I pay daily on what once was mine
Lord I probably owe you
For the tears that I cry
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay what I owe
Just so I can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where I'd go now
'Cause I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
In my heart, the heart that you own
