the heart that you own


(dwight yoakam)

I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby i pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own

Used to be i could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now i pay daily on what once was mine
Lord i probably owe you
For the tears the i cry
'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own

I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay you what i owe
Just so i can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where i'd go now

'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own.

Yea, in my heart
The heart that you own
