heart of a lonely girl

Dierks Bentley

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
