You were born with a broken heart,
And that's a pretty tough start.
And the shadows on your face,
trace a map of all the crap that you've seen and been through,
So when you sing my heart breaks too,
My heart breaks.
Hot damn, but your old man had heavy hands.
And your mama's been blue,
So long that you feel it too.
You were born with a broken faith,
And that's a pretty tough fate,
It leaves you open to
All kinds of sadness, hell, all kinds of madness
but then all kinds of sanity too,
all kinds of open-mindedness.
Was that worth this?
Hot damn, but your old man had heavy hands.
And your mama's been blue,
So long that you feel it too.
