Heart Of Stone

Marty Stuart · Other Songs - Marty Stuart

I ain't afraid of your bad mouth gun

You can shoot and run any time, babe

I'll survive in the ice cold stare

That you learned to wear so unkindly

Bette Davis and Patsy Cline

Ain't got nothin' on you

Hillbilly angel and Hollywood

I see through you, babe

I see right through you

You'll never break this heart of stone

No matter how you try

I ain't the one who's all alone

You'll never break this heart of stone

I know you're lookin' at someone new

So here's to you, what's the mystery

Do you want me to fall apart

Honey, in my heart, it's history

Pardon me if I missed a cue

For someone who cares

You just wanted to drive me on

But you won't wear, babe

You just can't tear me

You'll never break this heart of stone

No matter how you try

I ain't the one who's all alone

You'll never break this heart of stone

Ah, you'll never break this heart of stone

No matter how you try

I ain't the one who's all alone

You'll never break this heart

You'll never break this heart

You'll never break this heart of stone
