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
