Hand Me Down Heart Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam

Brighter Days

Lyrics to Hand Me Down Heart
This hand me down heart
Has been used
And passed around
And it has been known
To skip a beat

It's been lost
And kicked to ground
Too many times
To even count
Yet each small
Lonely piece still believes

Yeah this hand me down heart
Has a long and checkered past
There's no hurtful place
It hasn't seen
It's ragged and torn
Scarred with all the scorn
Left by
Every love
That found
A way to leave

There's so many
Things inside
That it could show you
Beyond the tears
Lies the joy
Of another life
A closer look
And you might see
All the risk
It took for me
That an unbroken heart
Would never try

There's so many
Things inside
That it could show you
Beyond the tears
Lies the joy
Of another life
A closer look
And you might see
All the risk
It took for me
That an unbroken heart
Would never try

This hand me down heart
Could be yours to steal
If you can look past
Its history
So keep that in mind
And call any time
If a hand me down heart
Would suit your needs
