Daddy drunk, daddy drunk himself to death When he was thirty-five years old Left five daughters An' book 'em on the Cayman row Put 'em down an' left an' he left all pain to me An' a pullin' outta Dallas An' the dirt back in Tennessee
So I called big sister on the telephone I said how y'all down there in 'ere call t'home Girl you won't starve for fortune and fame To earn big money in Dallas and make her name
Lonely hearts They're just made to break There ain't no spare parts Ain't no oil to change
Honey, I ain't accustomed to lose If I want somethin' bad I always find a way to get thru
I tell ya somethin' I ain't accustomed t'lose If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get thru
Lonely hearts They're just made to break There ain't no spare parts Ain't no oil to change
I could be there Thanksgiving afternoon With a turkey in m'hand And ah oughta buy a bottle o' boo'... I took a short cut about a quarter down The turnpike road And I'll fill 'er up with gas Ah'm a fill 'er 'bout San Antone An' I'll make it t'Dallas 'bout a quarter pa'...half past three Just another 30 miles On the road back to 443
You know, lonely hearts They're just made to break There ain't no spare parts There ain't no oil to change
I tell ya I ain't accustomed to lose If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it, baby Including you
I tell ya something I ain't ever gonna lose If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it, baby Including you
I could be there Thanksgiving afternoon If I start off now put my foot down the floor, damn too
I spoke to big sister on the telephone She said come on big brother Why don't you come on back home
I said, lonely hearts They're just made to break There ain't no spare parts Aint' no oil to change
I tell ya, honey I ain't accustomed to lose If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it, mmmmm Talkin ' bout you
If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it Don't I?
If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it Don't I?
If I want somethin' strong enough I always find a way to get it
Baby! Shoo-gahh! Ahhhh, yah, yah, yah...
Tell ya somethin', babe I ain't accustomed to lose
If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it
If I want somethin' bad enough I always find a way to get it
Lonely hearts They're just made to break There ain't no spare parts There ain't no oil to change
Lonely hearts They're just made to break Ain't no spare parts There ain't no oil to change
Now, I'm, I'm a-comin' back Comin' back a'home Thursday afternoon If I don't tumble down hard Really like a way to get thru
