Everything That I Own (Has Got A Dent)
Randy Travis · Other Songs - Randy Travis
I drive around with the trunk tied down with a bungee cord
'Cause I hopped a curb and backed into her new boyfriend's Ford
And down the hall there's a hole in the wall that's hard to miss
It's about the size and shape of my right busted fist
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own has got a dent
She used to say I'm a man who's way too hard on stuff
And she let me know that, that also goes for our love
I guess her heart's like that old dead goldfish I forgot to feed
And mine's like that dirt bike I wrapped around that tree
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own has got a dent
In the side, a hole in the back
A big piece of junk, ready for the trash
Better day's gone
Heart just keeps on beating anyway
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own, can't find one thing that don't
Everything that I own has got a dent
Oh, big ol' dent
'Cause I hopped a curb and backed into her new boyfriend's Ford
And down the hall there's a hole in the wall that's hard to miss
It's about the size and shape of my right busted fist
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own has got a dent
She used to say I'm a man who's way too hard on stuff
And she let me know that, that also goes for our love
I guess her heart's like that old dead goldfish I forgot to feed
And mine's like that dirt bike I wrapped around that tree
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own has got a dent
In the side, a hole in the back
A big piece of junk, ready for the trash
Better day's gone
Heart just keeps on beating anyway
Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn
Banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different?
Everything that I own, can't find one thing that don't
Everything that I own has got a dent
Oh, big ol' dent
Everything That I Own (Has Got A Dent)
Randy Travis delivers a poignant country ballad that explores the fragility of material possessions and the transient nature of wealth. Recorded in his signature style, the track blends acoustic guitar with a reflective vocal delivery, characteristic of Travis's approach to storytelling within the genre. The song serves as a reminder that while assets may accumulate, they can be easily damaged or lost, leaving one with nothing but memories. It stands as a thoughtful addition to his discography, reflecting themes common in his later works where he often addressed personal loss and the impermanence of life's material gains.
