verse 1
Old black and white movies on TV
Empty cans on the night stand
Ashtray full of half smoked cigarettes
Pickin' out old songs on the guitar
I was born a ramblin' man
I'm as about as lonesome as it gets
Come on baby give just a little
Why can't we meet in the middle
I can't do nothin' when you're gone
This place couldn't be any colder
I need your head on my shoulder
My hearts been breakin' way too long
way too long
Oh my hearts been breakin' way too long
verse 2
Work tends to put so much distance
Between your lovin' arms and me
I believe I've had about enough
I'm too tired to drive to Birmingham
So meet me in Tennessee
Well spend the morning makin' up
Come on baby give just a little
Why can't we meet in the middle
I can't do nothin' when you're gone
This place couldn't be any colder
I need your head on my shoulder
My hearts been breakin' way too long
Break
Come on baby give just a little
Why can't we meet in the middle
I can't do nothin' when you're gone
This place couldn't be any colder
I need your head on my shoulder
My hearts been breakin' way too long
Bridge
way too long
Well my hearts been breakin' way too long
