If you think we're defeated and you're all out of faith

And the straights of our love, you can't navigate

They fall 'til the rivers in your heart ran dry

Darling, put your broken heart away

Does the time pass you by, slow as down in Caroline

How many trains will it take before you're taken away

Does that train always run on time

I wear mine like a tattoo, like an old bad luck charm

'Til I see you with some other cowgirl on your arm

Then I'll take my broken heart away
