Heartache Of My Tears

I’m just an old traveler
A filthy lost straggler
As broken down as a man can be
I might ask you for a dollar
Though, few ever bother to say a kind word to me

Chorus:
So long have I cursed this world
Left my family by the way
Maybe Jesus would touch my soul
If I’d just kneel down and pray
If Jesus could find me
He’d find me here
Drownin’ in the heartache of my tears

I’m lost and forsaken
Oh, these ol’ hands are shakin’
I haven’t had a drink in a week
Oh, I would catch a train
But I’m feelin’ too much pain
And I can’t stay steady on my feet

Chorus

Oh, I can feel death come
Just like the warm sun
Soon enough I will be free
Or just another bum they found down by the creek
Worn out shoes upon his feet

Chorus
