Merle Haggard - More Than This Old Heart Can Take Lyrics

You walk into his arms before my very eyes
You can't even wait to be somewhere alone
The ties that bind have broken loose and I'm about to break
Loving you is more than this old heart can take

There was a place in time when I was always on your mind
And now I'm nothing more than just a fool
I thought that I was strong enough to live with my mistake
But loving you is more than this old heart can take

I don't know what's kept my mind from going crazy
But when you laugh at me it's more than I can stand
And when you're dancing with someone too close it causes me to shake
Loving you is more than this old heart can take
Hey, loving you is more than this old heart can take
