  • Your heart's on the loose
    You rolled them seven's with nothing to lose
    This ain't no place for the weary kind

    You called all your shots
    Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
    Somehow this don't feel like home anymore

    And this ain't no place for the weary kind
    This ain't no place to lose your mind
    This ain't no place to fall behind
    Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

    Your body aches
    Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
    The days and the nights all feel the same

    Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
    It doesn't forget
    The highway that calls for your heart inside

    And this ain't no place for the weary kind
    This ain't no place to lose your mind
    This ain't no place to fall behind
    Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

    Your lover's warm kiss
    Is too damn far from your fingertips
    You are the man that ruined her world

    Your heart's on the loose
    You rolled them seven's with nothing to lose
    And this ain't no place for the weary kind Writer/s: GEORGE RYAN BINGHAM, RYAN BINGHAM, T-BONE BURNETT
