Heavy Heart
He touched her cheek
And kissed her goodbye.
Then he turned around
And tried not to cry.
He left her standing there
Alone in the rain.
He drove quickly away
Trying to ignore the pain.
As he drove away into the night
Memories of her face flashed through his mind.
He had no choice.
He had to leave her behind.
Now he's traveling down
The road tonight.
His heart is heavy,
But his load is light.
He's driving quickly
Down the interstate
Praying the heartache
And tears will wait.
In his heart he knows
That leaving her is wrong,
But he has to prove to himself
That he's still rodeo strong.
As he looks out
Over the countryside
He prays for his heart
And an eight-second ride.
Now he's traveling down
The road tonight.
His heart is heavy,
But his load is light.
As the night pulls its
Covers up tight
He thinks of her face
And whispers, "Goodnight."
Now he's traveling down
The road tonight.
His heart is heavy,
But his load is light.
