Dierks Bentley - Heart Of A Lonely Girl

Twenty seven days I ve been out on the road,

I m a nervous wreck, I gotta get back home.

There s a young bride waiting for me all alone

Lord, how she misses me.

I can see her sittin in the kitchen chair

In a cotton dress with her long black hair.

But a woman ain t pretty if a man ain t there,

That I can t afford to be.

It s a shame, it s a shame

She won t be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl.

Like a red-tail fox to a blue tick hound,

She s the hottest thing for miles around.

All them other boys in our hometown,

Got tricks hid up their sleeves.

Now it ain t her that I don t trust,

She s pretty and pure as diamond dust.

But lonesome is this lonesome girl

She can t help for what she needs.

It s a shame, it s a shame

She won t be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl.

The heart of a lonely girl,

The heart of a lonely girl.

It s the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

The heart of a lonely girl.

Daddy was a rambler just like me,

I guess the apple don t fall too far from the tree.

When I ask why momma had to go that day,

Well he don t know and she won t say.

It s a shame, it s a shame

She won t be the one to blame

Oh the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl.

Yeah, it s a shame, it s a shame

She won t be the one to blame

Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl.

Yeah the hurtinest thing in the whole wide world

Is the heart of a lonely girl.
