[Verse 1]
I feel the cold wind blowin' all over me
I feel the dark clouds startin' to form
The trees are bare, the grass is brown
Another early winter Michigan storm

[Verse 2]
Everything I do is just a little wrong
Every day for me is the same
Everyone I know is gettin' in my face
And I only got myself to blame

[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna wreck this heart
Wreck this heart
Wreck this heart after a while

[Verse 3]
Big boss tells me my work is off
My wife wants me to come home
I miss my kids, I miss my dog
I've been spendin' too much time alone

[Verse 4]
I've got bills to pay, promises to keep
And it's all hangin' over my head
I've got miles to go before I sleep
I'd rather be with her instead

[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna wreck this heart
Wreck this heart
Think I'm gonna wreck this heart after a while

[Bridge]
There's time to work, time to live
There's only so much time around
And if you lean too far over the wishing well
You might fall in and drown

[Verse 5]
Am I talkin' too fast, am I hard to hear?
Have you understood a word that I've said?
Let me put it to you this way
And underline in red

[Verse 6]
Order me a case of your southern soul
And let me out tonight
I need a good long ride on your rodeo
And everything will be alright

[Chorus]
And then I'm gonna wreck this heart
Wreck this heart
Wreck this heart after a while
I'm gonna wreck this heart
I'm gonna wreck this heart
Think I'm gonna wreck this heart after a while

[Outro]
Ow
Yeah
Yeah
