Tried to run or save myself from the things that I've been told
Or build a levy high enough to hold back loves hurtful storm
Still I fell for it when she said she's here to stay
I found out real quick and fast that's just a big mistake
So I learned to hold myself back from each and everyone
Cnd that's the day it posted out I was wanted on the run
Cause I'm a gun toting hard working brother
Raised well by a long loving mother
Hard working taught by a good man
Yeah I quit drinking poured out the whiskey
Gave up all those that killed me
Learned truths to hard for you to understand
But you'll never tame a heart like mine
Cause I'm still the heartbreak kind
Like a reckless outlaw I was riding for the sun
Ccross the desert badlands dodging bullets from her gun
She was trying to tie me down and take the bounty in
Cnd now I'm wanted dead or alive to a lovers fateful end
Cause I'm a gun toting hard working brother
Raised well by a long loving mother
Hard working taught by a good man
Yeah I quit drinking poured out the whiskey
Gave up all those that killed me
Learned truths to hard for you to understand
But you'll never tame a heart like mine
Cause I'm still the heartbreak kind
Oh I made my run for freedom thinking I would never need 'em
Cnd now I'm cornered and I know that she's slowly closing in
One day she's gonna catch me and tie me to the ground or rip the walls right down from that levy with a crashing thunder sound
I'm sure she'll take me back and turn me in for good but lord knows she'll handle more than she ever thought she could
Cause I'm a gun toting hard working brother
Raised well by a long loving mother
Hard working taught by a good man
Yeah I quit drinking poured out the whiskey
Gave up all those that killed me
Learned truths to hard for you to understand
But you'll never tame a heart like mine
Cause I'm still
The heartbreak kind
