Mixed Up Mess Of A Heart - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

But you wouldn’t listen nor pay me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

Yeah, I watched her buy her tickets in Charlotte, North Carolina

And I heard her say, «One-way, please, to Denver»

She’s goin' to meet that other guy and it won’t do us no good to cry

'Cause she’s wearin' his ring on her finger

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

Yeah, I warned you a thousand times

But you wouldn’t listen nor pay me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

Well, I watched her tip the porter

As she stepped aboard that midnight train bound to take her faraway forever

I watched the tail light fade away knowing she was goin' to stray

And I wish this broken heart was leavin' with her

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

Yeah, a little, bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

But you wouldn’t listen nor pay me no mind

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart

You poor, broke, mixed up, mess of a heart
