She's A Girl Without Any Sweetheart
Hank Thompson · Hank Thompson & His Brazos Val [2003]
This whole world she'd give for a new start but the
chances she had now are gone
She used to have boys by the dozens but each one she left sad and blue
Now she's a girl without any sweetheart and it's all
cause she couldn't be true
[ steel - fiddle ]
Each line in her face tells a story of each other heart that she broke
It's too late now to say that she's sorry for each
unkind word that she spoke
The flower of you finally faded her old love she cannot renew
Now she's a girl without any sweetheart and it's all
cause she couldn't be true
