Vast Stretches of Broken Heart - Jimmy LaFave

Vast stretches of broken heart

Misery in between

Miles and miles of sorrow

On this poor boy’s dream

Every time I get a good thing

It never lasts too long

Every woman I meet

Well they always say I treat them wrong

You know I try to be good

You know I try to be kind

But they always accuse me

Of having other girls on my mind

Even if it were true

I want it understood

Just because a man looks doesn’t mean that he’s up to no good

Vast stretches of broken heart

Misery in between

Miles and miles of sorrow

On this poor boy’s dream

Every time I get a good thing

It never lasts long

Every woman I meet

Well they always say I treat them wrong

I’m gonna keep on looking

I know there’s a woman somewhere

Who’s going to treat me right

Show me a little love and care

Smooth out my rough edges

You know I’m not that bad

Take me home, baby

I’ll be the best dog you ever had

Vast stretches of broken heart

Misery in between

Miles and miles of sorrow

On this poor boy’s dream

Every time I get a good thing

It never lasts long

Every woman I meet

Well they always say I treat them wrong
