Lord I Have Made You A Place In My Heart |
| Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart |
| Among the rags and the bones and the dirt |
| There’s piles of lies, the love gone from her eyes |
| And old moving boxes full of hurt |
| Pull up a chair by the trouble and care |
| I got whiskey, you’re welcome to some |
| Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart |
| But I don’t reckon you’re gonna come |
| I’ve tried to fix up the place, I know it’s a disgrace |
| You get used to it after a while — |
| With the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out |
| With their IOU’s and their smiles |
| Bare naked women keep coming in |
| And they dance like you wouldn’t believe |
| Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart |
| So take a good look — and then leave |
| Oh Lord, why does the Fall get colder each year? |
| Lord, why can’t I learn to love? |
| Lord, if you made me, it’s easy to see |
| That you all make mistakes up above |
| But if I open the door, you will know I’m poor |
| And my secrets are all that I own |
| Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart |
| And I hope that you leave it alone |
