Give My Heart A Rest - Rodney Crowell

I’ve tried to make the most out of a hopeless situation

But turning something wrong into something right

But everything I do brings out the worst in you

Seems we always wind up gettin' in a fight

I tell our friends again it’s just a phase we’re going through

It’s the kind of trouble you know that won’t ever last

But the farther down I go and the more I think I know

We’ve headed down a rough and rocky path

So if you love me like you say you really love me why you wanna put me to the

test

Yeah if you don’t want me it won’t disappoint me I just wanna give my heart a

rest

I try to rise above the petty gossip of this town

I try to keep my nose clean and my eyes open wide

But people talk so much it’s hard to stay in touch

With the way you really feel down deep inside

Oh the sound of rolling thunder keeps on calling out to me

Way out on the highway is the place I wanna be

It’s hard to make it work when I feel just like a jerk

And the past’s the only future that I see

So if you love me like you say…

Yeah I just wanna give my heart a rest

Yeah I just wanna give my heart a rest
