I Was Born With A Broken Heart – David Ball

If you’re lost and you’re alone
Let me sing you a song
You’re not the only lonely one tonight
I can sympathize with you
I know what you’re goin’ through
I’ve been wakin’ in your shoes all my life

I was born with a broken heart
Born to lose right from the start
Raised on hand-me-down blues
That’s why I sing the way I do
A sad six-string and a jukebox voice
I’m the lonely people’s choice
I was made to play the part
I was born with a broken heart

If the sun should ever shine
In your life, well friend, that’s fine
And hope you leave behind these troubled times we’ve shared
Oh, but don’t look back for me
I’m where I’m supposed to be
As long as there’s a lonely street I’ll be there

I was born with a broken heart
Born to lose right from the start
Raised on hand-me-down blues
That’s why I sing the way I do
A sad six-string and a jukebox voice
I’m the lonely people’s choice
I was made to play the part
I was born with a broken heart
Made to play the part
I was born with a broken heart
