Oh you poor broke mixed up mess of a heart
A little bitty woman just took you and tore you apart
I tried to warn you a thousand times you wouldn't listen nor pay no mind
You poor broke mixed up mess of a heart
I watched her buy her tickets at Charlotte North Carolina
I heard her say oneway 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
[ steel ]
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 gone to stay
And I wish that's broken heart that's going with her
Oh you poor broke
You poor broke mixed up mess of a heart
