Ricky Skaggs - Heartbroke Lyrics






Well who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of pending goodbyes?
I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face

You got your heart broke, you go runnin' from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke

Well cryin' when you're rich is a bore if you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield
But all is not lost, it is only mistaken
A small consolation but I know just how you feel

You got your heart broke, you go runnin' from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke

Well nobody said it was goin' to be easy
We all have our weak sides that need a soft good touch.
Nobody said that it would not be worth it
But human condition continues as such

You got your heart broke, you go runnin' from the reason
Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me
Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke

You kept me from leavin' with my heart broke
With my heart broke, with my heart broke
You got your heart broke

    Thank you very much for uploading and sharing this great song from the Great Ricky Skaggs, it's brilliant and I LOVE IT !!!

    This song has the same intro as ''Misunderstanding'' by Genesis. Compare the two songs.

  8. b.... ....

    In those days Epic would've had a bunch of their 10" Nu-Disks lying around so it was no problem to mock up a label so the DJ could use one for an ersatz 78.

  9. D.... M....

  10. n.... p....

    George Grantham of Poco fame on drums. (my cousin)

  13. R.... L....

    I was the editor and the DJ Talent in the opening scenes. The youtube gods called me on copyright infringement with my better quality upload from the original one inch video tape master. Oh well. Enjoy the VHS dub...better than nothing, as long as it is allowed to remain here.

    R.... L....

    This video also get a copyright infringement hit (by LatinAutor, SME, LatinAutor - Warner Chappell, UBEM, Warner Chappell, PEDL) but is allowed to stay. It doesn't generate any income (nor does any other of my videos) to me. I'm not sure, but they perhaps generate income to the copyright holders. I hope so.

    A #1 hit for Ricky Skaggs on the Country & Western charts. It was the 628th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. We prepare to say goodbye to 1982 and welcome in 1983. What will the C&W scene be like in the new year? Stay tuned.

  24. x.... ....

  26. J.... B....

    Love this song and video. There's a great cover version by the Irish country star Paul Molly and his Country Band. It's soaring in the charts in Ireland. Have a look on his YouTube channel.

    J.... B....

    I couldn't find them on YT.

  27. d.... b....

    I just love this music brings back good memories !

  31. J.... M....

    RIP Guy Clark

    J.... M....

    He's not resting. He's just waiting for a train.

  32. J.... B....

    Hey there, folks! My name is Johnny Bennett, and I'm a Country music singer from Chino, CA. I did a cover of Skagg's song Heartbroke shortly after he made this song big on the AM 📻. It's on my new Youtube channel now, so if you would like to, come on over and give it a listen! Thanks.;)

    J.... B....

    I listened Johnny. You did a nice cover. Was that your band playing? Nice production too. I also listened to a few of your originals. You're a good writer, and should be in Nashville. :-) My second cousin lives there and has been doing wonderfully writing hits for artists. His name is Chris Tompkins.

  33. C.... C....

    Good Song! Ricky.

    C.... C....

    Guy Clark (RIP) wrote this song.

  34. T.... K....

    Love some Skaggs, I was 8 in 82, never saw the video but my parents jammed country on the radio, Ricky had lot of good song out then, but this is one of my favs

  35. S.... I....

    This Was Country Music! :) These new-comers need to take notes and start playing country music like this.

    S.... I....

    @Sean Ingram They can't and will not

  36. K.... W....

    When I got my heart broke bad I played this song over & over & over. I was so sad.

    K.... W....

    Kimi Wright Me too Kimi...it's still broken

  37. S.... F....

    I like Ricky's version better as well. Just kinda surprised that they both made this song popular.

  38. H.... P....

    For my $, Ricky's version soars, while George's stays on the ground.

    H.... P....

    I forgot George sang it. I think Ricky did it first. Love George but on this particular song I agree like Ricky's edition better.

  39. U.... ....

    Yeah, Christians never get pissed...good one! LOL

  40. D.... W....

    Ricky's a Christian. He doesn't get mad very easily.

  41. j.... ....

    Damn! Where does the time go? Love it! Never saw the video before, but always loved the song. quality is great, right down to the 1982 tape hiss!

  42. l.... ....

    I don't think so; after all, it was Ricky that had a #1 hit with this song, not George. If anything, George might be mad at Ricky for releasing it as a single first, but I highly doubt that this is the case.

  43. S.... F....

    Somewhere, Ricky Skaggs is pissed off that George Strait sang this song as well.

    S.... F....

    Brad C he is probably flattered

  44. l.... ....

    Thank you so much for uploading. I used to enjoy watching this video on YouTube under another source until it got deleted. Since then, I have looked for it and not found it until now.
