Crooked Heart lyrics

I’m just trying to walk a straight line With a crooked heart inside I don’t do what I want to But I want to all the time Even with my best foot forward That leaves one left behind Trying to walk a straight line With a crooked heart inside When I was young, I was a stick just scratching the dust Trying to make a mark that would last But the wind’s gonna blow and the kid’s gonna grow And that line’s gonna fade so fast Now I’m stubborn on a mission, trying to do it different But honestly I know It ain’t broke, but it bleeds, and it’s starting to rust Like my hand-me-down cross all covered with dust I know that it works ‘cause at the end of the day I’ve got my knees on the floor and I’m starting to pray I’ve got a rattle in the dash, ‘gotta little stash Of things I can’t quite change I try to stand on a rock but I always roll I gotta soul full of slant that I can’t let go With a little more time I hope you see A little more light than dark in me A little more light than dark in me
