The King Of Broken Hearts — George Strait

(Jim Lauderdale)

The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends And he has quite a few of them They know he will understand That's just the way it goes

The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king He's trying to forget other things Like some old chilly scenes He's walking through alone

He talks to angels and the stars start to spin He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in He recalls how his heart got broken And how it's still that way

The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise He can smile while he's crying inside We know he'll be brave tonight Cause he's the king of broken hearts

He talks to angels and the stars start to spin He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in He recalls how his heart got broken And how it's still that way

The king of broken hearts thinks that he's no fool He's a little bit like me and you So what's a king like that supposed to do With all that blue time We know he'll be brave tonight Cause he's the king of broken hearts He's the king of broken hearts
