This ole heart was made like a train
But this ole heart is flesh and blood
Gets in trouble when it cares too much
Keeps it hangin' on when it oughta give up
On something that's past

I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings
Cause I could sure use just one of those things
Then this danged ole fallin' out love
Wouldn't hurt so bad
But this ole heart ain't made like that

If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof
Beaten by the rain, weathered and used
A fresh coat of paint would make it new
If this ole heart was lik an ole tin roof

But this ole heart is felsh and blood
Gets in trouble when it cares too much
Keeps it hangin' on when it oughta give up
On something that's past

I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings
Cause I could sure use just one of those things
Then this danged ole fallin' out love
Wouldn't hurt so bad
But this ole heart ain't made like that
