You got my lost brother's soul,
My dear mother's eyes,
A brown horse's mane,
And my uncle's name
You walked me down 14th Street
With a doctor to meet after thoughts of the grave
In the home of the brave and of the weak
But, why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?
I could have clipped and saved and planted in the garden
Damn you, guess I'll have to get a new one
I'd love to sit and watch you drink,
With the reins to the world, gripping a smoke
Vaguely missing link
Don't ever change, you hungry little bashful hound
I got the sheep, poor little Bo Peep
Has lost and filed for grounds
But, why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a little bit of it?
Why'd you have to break all my heart?
Couldn't you have saved a minor part?
I could have ripped apart and thrown into the river
Wonder if there's hearts that will deliver
Don't ever change, don't ever worry,
Because I'm coming back home tomorrow
To 14th Street, where I won't hurry
And where I'll learn how to save, not just borrow
And there'll be rainbows and we will finally know…
