Written By: David Lee and Tony Lane

If this ole heart
Was built like a truck
These Rocky ole roads wouldn't be so rough
And if it ever broke down I'd patch it up
If this ole heart was built like a truck

If this ole heart was made like a train
A lot of smoke and steel, wouldn't feel no pain
And it wouldn't look back as it rolled away
If this ole heart was made like a train

--Chorus--

But this ole heart is flesh and blood
Gets in trouble when it cares too much
Keeps hangin' on when it ought to give up
On somethin that's passed
I wish it had wheels and I wish it had wings
Cause I could sure use just one of those things
Then this danged ole fallin' out of love wouldn't hurt so bad
But this ole heart ain't made like that

--End of Chorus--

If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof
Beatin' by the rain, wheathered and used
A fresh coat of paint would make it good as new
If this ole heart was like an ole tin roof

---Chorus---

What Terri Clark had to Say...

"I think this is the first cut for these writers, which tickles me. The demo had a big, deep, male voice. I thought, 'This is a boy's song. I can't sing that.' Keith said, 'That's exactly what's cool about it.' I said, 'You know what? You're right. Nobody would expect a female to sing that lyric.' I think it is a really great song and it was real easy for me to sing. It has an 'Alan Jackson' vibe."
