Live with a Broken Heart

picked up his rig in Bakersfield
fore the sunrise hit the smog
coffee and eggs in Barstow
but his mind was still in a fog
he got up to go take a leak
he heard the country music start
and it hit him quick
like a flyin brick
he was gonna have to learn to live with a broken heart

she was laid off at the diner
cuz she didn’t like the boss’s leer
it was just the same when her husband left
she was glad when she got past the fear
she’d call her sister in LA
take the kid and get a brand new start
but now she cried
as she felt inside
she was gonna have to learn to live with a broken heart

there’s a crazy eye inside you
that can see another view
where they don’t have to poison the pigeons
and the dead are all made new
where the lion and lamb are snugglin
and you’re playin just your part
and it never ends
but here my friend
you’re gonna have to learn to live with a broken heart

love,

-  john o.
