My Heart Just Won't Listen (To My Mind)

(Harlan Howard)



I know she's a long way from an angel

And a man's a fool to love her kind

And I also know one of these days

She'll go back to her cheatin' ways

But my heart just won't listen to my mind.



No, my heart just won't listen

If I woke up and found her missin'

I guess I'd come very close to dyin'

I know I'm making a bad mistake

Headin' straight for a big heartache

But my heart just won't listen to my mind.



She's trying, God knows my baby's trying

But she's getting more restless all the time

So I'm gonna live from day to day

Let the chips fall where they may

For my heart just won't listen to my mind.



No my heart just won't listen

If I woke up and found her missin'

I guess I'd come very close to dyin'

I know I'm making a bad mistake

Headin' straight for a big heartache

But my heart just won't listen to my mind...
