Leavin' The Land of The Broken Hearted lyrics
by Blackhawk



I see my mom and dad's wedding picture

Hanging in the hall

That picture of happiness tries to sell it

But it doesn't tell it all

It's been 22 years since they walked down the aisle

I never see 'em talk and I never see 'em smile



They're living their lives in the land of the broken hearted



My old man gave me a job right out of high school

Just like his old man did

It's a dead end street of barely making ends meet

That I just can't live with



We can hang around here and wind up the same

Or kick it in gear, girl, and and outrun the pain



We're leavin' the land of the broken hearted

Lettin' our motors run

The sea of tears have finally parted

Baby, our time has come

We're gettin' out now while we still have forever

For you and me, girl, it's now or never

We're leavin' the land of the broken hearted



It's a lottery ticket chance of gettin' out

And I've never met a winner

Now, nothing ever changes around here but the weather

And what they had for dinner



It's a chain of broken dreams, and we were born to break it

That miracle they're dealin' we're not gonna take it



We're leavin' the land of the broken hearted

Lettin' our motors run

The sea of tears have finally parted

Baby, our time has come

We're gettin' out now while we still have forever

For you and me, girl, it's now or never

We're leavin' the land of the broken hearted



We're leavin' the land of the broken hearted

Baby we're leavin' now, just you and me

Yes, we're leavin' the land, leavin' the land

Leavin' the land of the broken hearted

While we still have forever

We're gettin' out now

It's now or never

Leavin' the land of the broken hearted
