Well, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me Yeah, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me I been lookin in the sand near this lonely Rio Grande I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me Well I crossed the river into an honest land Just to resurrect the boy who died a man Picking pieces of the past I would hope to make it last But that's beaten up my heart you took from me Well, sweet smilin gal, Lord I'm trying don't you see To suck the only love left out of me Well I'm just growing old with a hole deep in my soul Won't you give me back that heart you took from me Well, I hope one day that I will understand Yeah, I hope one day that I will understand All the makings of a heart from the finish to the start Gonna build myself that heart you took from me And if I do, then will you take my hand And if I do, then will you take my hand I been walking through the valleys, all the deserts and dark alleys I'm just waitin on the day you take my hand Well if I were an engineer I'd drive this train away from here and manifest my destiny at sea And I'd hop a ship and sing along the signal of the song About the girl that took the heart right out of me Well, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me Yeah, I'm lookin for the heart you took from me I been lookin in the sand near this lonely Rio Grande I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me And I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me Well, I'm still lookin for the heart you took from me
