Lyrics

STANDING AT THE EDGE OF A BROKEN HEART

In his shiny boots, he was walkin' tall
Walked right past the writin' on the wall
Cowboy thought he'd take that girl from Jim
Made one mistake; of not leavin' right then

Jim told his girl, "wait"; went where he'd been led
Stared into a big silver buckle and said... Your

chorus
Standing at the Edge Of A Broken Heart
Couple steps closer; you'll be right where I've been
It's bound to get ugly, when it all comes apart
Watch what ya' say; cause Hell is closing in
Standin' at the Edge Of A Broken Heart

Jim said, "Little Brother is here with me
Little Brother's sharp, Little Brother's mean
He can cut a big boy right down to his size
Stared into his eyes, 'til that Cowboy realized

Jim might be small, but in truth , real strong
And maybe it was better, if he moseyed along ...Your

repeat chorus

Bridge:
That long, tall stranger, never came back
Last we heard; his bags was all packed
His horse will be the last to leave town
The train whistle blew; the dude can't be found

Ya' gotta' stand up and feel real tall,
When you're about to lose it all

repeat chous

Standing at the Edge Of A Broken Heart.....
Standing at the Edge Of A Broken Heart.....
