Broken Hearts Still Beat

Old trucks don't run if they got no gas in it
Can't play a popped flat top string
What's a pasture with no green grass in it?
A songbird with no song to sing?

Cup won't buzz without a little sour mash in it
Can't pray a prayer without Amen
Work don't work without ya back in it
Flat tires, they don't spin

But broken hearts still beat
And that's what you showed me
I thought if you'd ever let me go
That'd be the end of the end of my rope
It ain't good as new
And boy, thanks to you
It may never be the way it used to be
But broken hearts still beat

My smile's got a little bit less ear to ear in it
Bed's got a little more room
Fridge has got a little more beer in it
Now that there's no you
And even though it's black and blue

Broken hearts still beat
And that's what you showed me
I thought if you'd ever let me go
That'd be the end of the end of my rope
It ain't good as new
And boy, thanks to you
It may never be the way it used to be
But broken hearts still beat

Still tickin', still kickin', still breathin'
Still pumpin', still runnin', still dreamin'
Thought it might stop when ya tore off leavin'
Guess it took that to see

Broken hearts still beat
And that's what you showed me
I thought if you'd ever let me go
That'd be the end of the end of my rope
It ain't good as new
And boy, thanks to you
It may never be the way it used to be
But broken hearts still beat
Broken hearts still beat
