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
|
