Pam Tillis - Rough And Tumble Heart lyrics

It's been kicking around since '72

And there's not a whole lot that it ain't been through

Never quite learned to play by the rules

And there's one in every dreamer

Well, it's hung around where it didn't belong

And given in when it should've been strong

And you think by now it would've turned to stone

But the flame burns bright as ever

Yeah, the flame burns bright as ever

I got a rough and tumble heart

Well, it took a few falls till it got smart

But it's still tender in the deepest part

This rough and tumble heart, rough and tumble heart

Well, it's never lead a sheltered life

It knows love cuts deeper than the sharpest knife

And it struggled so long with the wrongs and rights

When there were no easy answers

Oh, it beats so lonely in the still of the night

Needing someone to hold it tight

And it never will give up the fight

For a love that lasts forever

A love that lasts forever

I got a rough and tumble heart

Well, it took a few falls till it got smart

But it's still tender in the deepest part

This rough and tumble heart, rough and tumble heart

It's been kicking around since '72

And there's not a whole lot that it ain't been through

Never quite learned to play by the rules

And there's one in every dreamer
