Can’t Fix My Heartbreak

[Verse 1]
I can drop that tailgate
Pull a carb apart in the dark
Got a wrench for every rattle
I know every inch of this old yard
I can clear a jam one-handed
Eyes closed, in the pouring rain
But there’s one thing in this house
I can’t seem to re-chain
[Chorus]
I can field strip my guns like it’s easy
I can fix my truck every time it breaks
I can weld, I can wire, I can patch up worn-out things
Give ‘em one more run down these dirt road lanes
But I can’t fix my heartbreak you made
Can’t patch the hole where your goodbye stayed
All my tools and all my tough
Ain’t enough for the mess you left in my veins
[Verse 2]
Got a shelf full of manuals
For every busted, broken part
But there’s nothing I can flip to
On how to quiet down this heart
I can straighten bent steel fenders
Bang ‘em back like they were new
But that night you shut the front door
Left a dent I can’t work through
[Chorus]
I can field strip my guns like it’s easy
I can fix my truck every time it breaks
I can weld, I can wire, I can patch up worn-out things
Give ‘em one more run down these dirt road lanes
But I can’t fix my heartbreak you made
Can’t patch the hole where your goodbye stayed
All my tools and all my tough
Ain’t enough for the mess you left in my veins
[Bridge]
I keep turning all these bolts
Till my knuckles bleed and sting (yeah)
Just a man in a quiet shop
Who can’t fix the one thing
[Chorus]
I can field strip my guns like it’s easy
I can fix my truck every time it breaks
I can weld, I can wire, I can patch up worn-out things
Give ‘em one more run down these dirt road lanes
But I can’t fix my heartbreak you made
Can’t patch the hole where your goodbye stayed
Guess a broken heart like mine
Ain’t the kind a man can save
