He used to have this friend, all those tries
Than to have to watch us fall apart, but memories turn black and white
are not just for parts
so it s better off just not to start
So i ll take away your sad luck baby, all because of my second hand heart
to try and save our second hand hearts
Then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground, all because of my second hand heart
It s better off just not to start, cause after years of tears it s hard to say what s up or down
second hand hearts
So if you will, we ain t got time
She said look i tried a lot, then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground, second hand hearts
We ain t got time, and you ll change mine
Than to have to watch us fall apart, it s better off just not to start
Cause after years of tears it s hard to say what s up or down, to try and save our second hand hearts, so if you will
She said when i trusted love i dreamed in color too, all because of my second hand heart
she said look i tried a lot
all because of my second hand heart
all because of my second hand heart
Cause after years of tears it s hard to say what s up or down, but this is now and that was then
You may not see how good they were without the rest, to try and save our second hand hearts
And take the chance that we might fall apart, she said my brother Dwight, but memories turn black and white
I ll try to start, at least mine do Dwight, than to have to watch us fall apart
She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too
But memories turn black and white, at least mine do…
She said my brother, you know, he used to have this friend…
But this is now and that was then
It’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my second hand heart
I said if you could count up memories but only keep the best
You may not see how good they were without the rest
She said look I tried a lot
But I guess love it don’t like me
Oh and by the way, all those tries?
Sure didn’t come for free
So it’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my second hand heart
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Are not just for parts
So I’ll take away your sad luck baby
And you’ll change mine
When hurt starts talkin’ we’ll say hey, ya know, we ain’t got time
Then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground
’Cause after years of tears it’s hard to say what’s up or down
So if you will, I’ll try to start
And take the chance that we might fall apart
To try and save our second hand hearts
She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too…
The great unique background vocals, change in tempos during the songs,, unpredictable guitar rythyms and drum beats, Dwight's richer vocals as he ages and sense of melody on these new recordings, makes this album a masterpiece. All the songs sound great.
Im not a huge country fan, but I have to say Dwight Yoakam is really great. I think he transcends styles, much like Springsteen or even Elvis Costello.
