Empty Fields

Verse 1

The sun comes up over these empty fields today

But the warmth I used to feel has all faded away

I pour my coffee black and stare out at the land

Wonderin' how forever slipped right through my hands

Chorus

She took the horses, she took the cattle too

Left me here with nothin' but a heart split in half

I used to have a heart of gold, steady and true

Now it's torn right down the middle from the love we knew

Verse 2

We built this life from nothin' on this hard Texas dirt

Rode through every storm, through the pain and the hurt

But somewhere in the silence the fire burned out slow

You loaded up the trailer and you had to go

Bridge

I remember your smile in the glow of the firelight

The way we'd dance in the kitchen on a Saturday night

Now the radio's playin' our old favorite song

And I'm left here singin' all alone

Chorus

She took the horses, she took the cattle too

Left me here with nothin' but a heart split in half

I used to have a heart of gold, but you took that part

Now I'm just a lonely cowboy with a broken heart

Outro

Yeah... she took the horses... took the cattle...

Left me with a heart split in half...
