oh lord i have made you a place in my heart among the rags and the bones and the dirt there s piles of lies the love gone from her eyes and old moving boxes full of hurt pull up a chair by the trouble and care i got whiskey you re welcome to some oh lord i have made you a place in my heart but i don t reckon you re gonna come i ve tried to fix up the place i know it s a disgrace you get used to it after a while with the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out with their iou s and their smiles bare naked women keep coming in and they dance like you wouldn t believe oh lord i have made you a place in my heart so take a good look and then leave oh lord why does the fall get colder each year lord why can t i learn to love lord if you made me it s easy to see that you all make mistakes up above but if i open the door you will know i m poor and my secrets are all that i own oh lord i have made you a place in my heart and i hope that you leave it alone
