Wrote this about a Canadian girl...we drove from LA to Vancouver to pick up some of her stuff and hardly spoke at all there or back.
lyrics
When I put her in my truck and said goodbye - Had to turn away so she wouldn’t see me cry
This isn’t the way I thought that things would be - But I love people more than they love me
I knew that she was trouble from the start - And I swore that she would never get my heart
Now I got two days on my own - And I’m a thousand miles from home
God Damn it I can’t stand that we’re apart
This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - But this Heart of Mine is
never wrong
So when she comes back with my truck - Full of memories and bad
luck
I’ll sit her down and sing her this song
When she comes rolling in on Christmas Day - I’ll forget all the things that I was going to say
‘Cause I’ve been here before - And by now I know the score
I love people more than they love me
This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - I wish this Heart of Mine
was wrong
I’m gonna look her in the eye - And tell her a great big lie
Of course this isn’t you in this song
This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - This Heart of Mine’s a son
of a bitch
If she turns out not to be true – I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna rip it out and throw it in a ditch
