lyrics

HEART TROUBLE

When I was twenty-three
See they cut right into me
Stuffed wires in through my veins
And screwed right into my heart

Found I was born with this disease
Seems my heart she didn't always beat
Now the chunk of metal in my my chest
kicks her into start

Now I'm staring in the mirror
At my six day beard
At the bandage o'er my chest
And all the things I fear
As I wonder
How long
I'll be here

Chorus:
And Oh
The words I heard
Sound so hard to believe
But Oh
We all hurt
We all have scars and we all bleed
And Heart trouble's
Happened to me

Now I've lived to be an older man
Who feels like he got a second chance
To live passionate and true if not always smart

We all think we hold this life in our hands
But it's never guaranteed to last
But you're a better man than me if you can fool your own heart

Staring in the mirror
Into all the faces I've peered
For the one that fits my own
As I now appear
As I wonder
How long
I'll be here

Chorus

Yeah Heart Trouble's happened to me
