Haunted Heart

(jimmy newman/j.d. miller)

Cry, cry darlin?
That

(buddy brock/kim williams)

Go down the road called yesterday
Take a left on a lost highway
And make a right on memory lane
Drive until you feel the pain

And at the river of tears take one last turn
And cross the bridge that just won't burn
A run down house is love's graveyard
That's where you'll find my haunted heart

Well my haunted heart can't rest in peace
It's buried with her memory
And it's a living hell here after dark
All alone with a haunted heart

Late at night a slamming door
Shadows move across the floor
Footsteps fall on silent stairs
I hear her call but no one's there

Her photograph hangs by the bed
A grim reminder love is dead
A love i killed just won't depart
It's living in my haunted heart

Well my haunted heart can't rest in peace
It's buried with her memory
And it's a living hell here after dark
All alone with a haunted heart
I said i'm all alone with a haunted heart

(bob mcdill/paul harrison)

We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for

She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time i've told her so

There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about

And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time i've told her so

Morning comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her

'cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time i've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time i've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time i've told her so

You were the only woman for the longest time
And i

(dennis linde)

Well i met her out at murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
And i remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said i like living like this

So i made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Times she's run off and i've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Well a few nights later i run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said he rebuilds engines and his name is earl
He's the charlie daniels of the torque wrench
I whispered honey let's just go on home
And have some onion rings and watch tv
And as i walked her to the truck
Earl was cryin' don't you leave me
I told him

This is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes shes runs and i've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and i've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and i've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

She's the queen
She's the queen
