Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They found his hat
On a rusted nail
Boots kicked off
By the water pail
Coffee on the stove
Gone cold by dawn
One plate on the table
Radio on
[Chorus]
He died alone with a broken heart (oh)
Staring at the door she walked through
Kept her letter in his pocket
Words he never could undo
Out there where the fences end
Under all that open sky
He died alone with a broken heart
Still in love the day he died
[Verse 2]
That old bay horse
Waited by the gate
Saddle still cinched
Like he’d run in late
Her name carved small
In the cottonwood bark
His pillow smelled
Like dust and dark
[Chorus]
He died alone with a broken heart (mmm)
Staring at the door she walked through
Kept her letter in his pocket
Words he never could undo
Out there where the fences end
Under all that open sky
He died alone with a broken heart
Still in love the day he died
[Bridge]
Neighbors say he laughed less
Every passing year
Talked to her at sunset
Like she might still hear
All that pride, all that quiet
Hid the hurt inside
’Til it lay down beside him
On the night he closed his eyes
[Chorus]
He died alone with a broken heart
Staring at the door she walked through
Kept her letter in his pocket
Words he never could undo
Out there where the fences end
Under all that open sky
He died alone with a broken heart
Still in love the day he died
