Wreck

In the heart of the country

Where the men all love their wives

I'm a wreck with no one there to see

I was burning up all night

They say if outcast hands are cringing

Someone's bound to just appear

But I don't want just anyone

I need a worker not a volunteer

I got so much love to give

It tosses me and it turns

I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns

Like a kettle taken off the flame

Still hot for hours more

I fear whatever I am made of

Never cools enough to hold

I think we all want security

With all its healing lore

But with that comes a treaty

And treaties break with war

I got so much love to give

It tosses me and it turns

I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns

I got so much love to give

It tosses me and it turns

I don't wanna be the wreck that burns and burns and burns and burns
