Duct Tape Heart

I been to broken, I been to pain

I rode the blues from Baton Rouge clear up to Maine

But I keep on rolling when my hold-it-all-together falls apart

I just stick another strip on my duct tape heart

I've called some baby, I've called some gone

I've had some do-me-rights turn into done-me-wrongs

Well, like my favorite broken pool cue, my favorite broken bar

I just stick another strip on my duct tape heart

It's an open-all-night town that could use a little coat of paint

It's another whiskey down and a "Hey, baby, what's your name?"

It's a temporary fix, ain't gonna take me very far

Just another little strip on my duct tape heart

She was sweet Virginia, tobacco gold

Thought I saw forever in that cherry red and smoke

Well, she took the matches, left the ashes, now I'm right back at the start

She ripped every little strip off my duct tape heart

It's an open-all-night town that could use a little coat of paint

It's another whiskey down and a "Hey, baby, what's your name?"

It's a temporary fix, ain't gonna take me very far

Just another little strip on my duct tape heart

Ooh, oh, ooh

Ooh, oh

Wish I could find me some love that's real

That long haul kind that always shines and never peels

Until I find my one and only, I'll pass lonely in the dark

And just slap another strip on my duct tape heart

It's an open-all-night town that could use a little coat of paint

It's another whiskey down and a "Hey, baby, what's your name?"

It's a temporary fix, ain't gonna take me very far

Just another little strip on my duct tape heart

Another little strip

Another little strip
