LYRICS, THE STORY IN THE MUSIC

Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse 1:}

Y’all know I grew up around here

And I know just where to go

To get your old truck repaired or find a fine fishin’ hole

You’ve seen me up on that bar stool a native son and a

self made fool sipping whiskey and my cold brew

The woman on my arm is a tattoo

{c: Verse 2:}

Y’all know the girl this song is about

Ever since we were back in school

She dated our buddy Jim put a hurtin’ on

Him and left him lickin’ his wounds

I been rode hard and put up wet

Ain’t found a woman that can break me yet

Hard as the trail in a cowboy song

Lonesome as the coyote who’s howling along

{c: Verse 3:}

Thought I’d try my luck one night

Win a dance with this Cowboy’s Delight

Have her over for a night or two

Find out how she likes her coffee brewed

She stole my records and cashed my paycheck

Since then ain’t one of my friends that she ain’t slept with

Pawned my guns and scratched my guitar

Then went and drove my truck into a fence of barbed wire

{c: Bridge}

With her dangerous curves she’s like an old mountain road

I’m holding onto the wheel but I want to let go

She’s a Blue Jean Queen from the old south land

Lucky you and me she’s got a popular brand

{c: Chorus}

Thought I was the king of hearts but I will abdicate my crown

What do y’all say we have another round

Lift up your glass for the Toughest Heart In Town

She’s showing up and going down

Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown

We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around

She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In Town

{c: Verse 4:}

I spend most of my spare time in this old Honky Tonk

They got each beer up on the wall and a neon sign out front

I’m dyed in the wool and cured on the vine

I come in here looking for a damn good time

and so did you, but we’ve all known her and we all got a case of the Blues

{c: Bridge}

I’ve been smoking my breakfast and drinking my dinner

Burning out like a candle with its wick in the middle

I need a damn good woman in a real bad way

Not a big bad momma that ain’t gonna stay

{c: Chorus}

Thought I was the king of hearts but I will abdicate my crown

What do y’all say we have another round

Lift up your glass for the Toughest Heart In Town

She’s showing up and going down

Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown

We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around

She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In Town

no no no

She’s showing up and going down

Ain’t got no love just playing like a clown

We’re broken up and ain’t hanging around

She ain’t gonna break the Toughest Heart In this whole damn town
