Owen Temple - Broken Heart Land lyrics

How did your past get stuck in a pawnshop Seems everything you owned is held in hock At the only store open on this whole downtown block On a shelf next to records and pistols I found your old guitar I saw your Chevy Nova down at the salvage yard We got heartaches all around Got miles of rusted towns I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands Factories crumble away Like the long gone glory days of a broken heart land Down in the alley by the warehouse I found a painting on a wall that you did You wrote your name in letters six feet high So there's no mistaking this is where you lived The dreams you had Thought they would all come true But they just faded out like this old picture you drew We got heartaches all around Got miles of rusted towns I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands Farmland just blows away Like the long gone glory days of a broken heart land So I threw your old guitar off the bridge into the river Driftwood taking on water slipping away Chorus
