The Heart Breaking Bends

The Heart Breaking Bends

By Paul McCann

It feels like I’m stretched and torn in two ,

living on the road without you ,

some days I feel ok but it  depends

how I handle things on  the heart breaking bends

Its a  forsaken zone out there tonight ,

driving all alone it’s just not right ,

I work every hour of the good Lord sends

and  hold on tight round the heart breaking bends  ,

Some days are hard to get through

so I pray for the strength to do the things I do ,

burning the candle  wick at both ends ,

I’m tired of these heart breaking bends

Its hard missing you the way I do

but that tells that I’m in love with you ,

my hands are tied tightly at both ends

trying to stretch it out on the heart breaking bends

Trucking is a way of life I have ,

running along a straight and narrow path ,

I can’t tell  you  how I feel I keep  my hands tightly on the  wheel

.
