Gabe Lee - Piece of Your Heart Lyrics

Piece of Your Heart
Gabe Lee

What if I were to tell you that I've always loved you but you might never see me again,
That the wide open road is the last place I know a grown man can still play pretend.
Like He ain't just some guy, like it'll all be right, like he don't plan on runnin away
How I wish it were true, but I'd be lyin to you, if I made you some promise to stay

Take all your distant belongings, ball caps, class rings,
Worn shoes, flat tires, steel pans, and big dreams,
Go talk to the man who buys broken down things,
And sell him a piece of your heart.

Well now she's off to the races, all dolled up in graces, pretty as a June Christmas tree
Headed to find her a one night reminder why she don't wear no hearts on her sleeve
All's that I know is that white petal roses look prettiest before wilting away
So shine baby shine, drink up all the wine, don't let no one tell you you can't

Throw out the laundry let it wash in the rain,
Wet trash, coal fired, lactose, migraine
Go talk to the man who buys broken down things,
Sell him a piece of your heart.

Now there's a Tennessee sunrise, pouring in daylight, free as a bull from his pen
And all I can think of is you shit canned and mad, love, I'm just glad to see you again
And I thought you should know that I've stitched up my soul and framed it in gold on the wall
So when the train come to town and they tear this place down, there'll be something still left to hang on

Cold cups of coffee, in the Uhaul mobile.
Stay back, wide load, sharp turns uphill
Go talk to the man, let him cut you a deal, and sell him a piece of your heart, oh babe
Go on and sell him a piece of your heart.
