Hank Williams (All Three) - Men With Broken Hearts lyrics

rate me

You will meet many just like me

Upon life’s busy street

With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low

And eyes that stare in defeat

Poor souls that live within the past

Where sorrow plays all parts

For a living death is all that’s left for men

With broken hearts

You have no right to be the judge

To criticize and condemn.

Just think but for the grace of God

It would be you instead of him

One careless step, a thoughtless deed

And then the misery starts

And to those who weep death comes cheap

These men with broken hearts

Oh, so humble you should be

When they come passing by

For it's written that the greatest of men

Never get to big to cry

Some lose faith in love and life

When sorrow shoots her darts

With hope all gone, they walk alone these men

With broken hearts

You've never walked in that man's shoes

Or saw things through his eyes

Or stood and watched with helpless hands

While the heart inside you dies

Some were paupers, some were kings

Some were masters of the arts

But in their shame they're all the same

These men with broken hearts

Life sometimes can be so cruel

That a heart will pray for death

God why must these living dead know

Pain with every breath?

So help your brother along the road

No matter where he starts

For the God that made you, made them too

These men with broken hearts
