Angola ain't no place to be It's for the lost that once were free Fields of fear stretch far and wide And the razor wire goes to the sky I make my rounds through the fields all day While the prisoners work their sins away Shotgun perched upon my leg On a 16 hand tall thorough bred They sing ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart The devil holds the key There ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart But to get down on your knees Desperation in a troubled man Spreads like poison in this land I've seen it all from this saddle, son Yeah, God rest your soul if you try to run Oh now ash to ash and dust to dust You're here because your dreams went bust Best put that pick axe in the ground Keep on moanin' that lonesome sound Songtexte There ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart The devil holds the key There ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart But to get down on your knees When the calm wind blew through that ol' screen door You didn't hear their screams no more Blood on the walls and across the floor Lord, what did ya do? You drug 'em out to that old oak tree Dug a hole 'neath the tire swing Wiped a tear, threw in the ring And a sawed off shotgun too You let 'em down in the cold hard ground Side by side the way you found 'em Fallin' rain didn't make a sound And that's when you knew There ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart The devil holds the key There ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart Ain't no way to mend a broken heart But to get down on your knees Aus Songtexte Mania
