Life made me mean and I took it out on everyone in sight I never loved a man on earth and I wouldn't treat 'em right They told me I looked mighty good; that never made me change Till I met this wiry cowboy who rode in from the range This ugly tempered cowboy neglected union dues He'd sleep with mountain lions when he had the choice to choose If he wanted sump'm bad--best to say you're the master He's got more hair upon his chest than a grizzly in Alaska HE DROVE HIS JACKHAMMER LOVE THROUGH THIS CONCRETE HEART OF MINE THIS MAN ATE NAILS FOR BREAKFAST; HE COULD SNAP A GEORGIA PINE BUT HE MADE MY HEART GO PITTY PAT AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE HE DROVE HIS JACKHAMMER LOVE THROUGH THIS CONCRETE HEART OF MINE He wouldn't take no sass from me; wouldn't treat me like a lady He knew that I meant yes when I told that cowpoke maybe I told him I could love no man so cowboy move along He told me Honey shut your mouth, and for once I got it wrong REPEAT

HE DROVE HIS JACKHAMMER LOVE THROUGH THIS CONCRETE HEART OF MINE
