Woman You Won't Break Mine

(album: Comin' Home To Stay - 1987)

Your momma dressed you in petticoats, and satin shoes that shined.
She pictured you her China doll, but you were of another mind.
Now you saw yourself in the rodeo, with the best bulldog in town,
You went and broke your mother's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

The first time I laid eyes on you, you were eating dirt;
You got right up and shook it off, and I was thinking you were hurt.
Now you're standing there and telling me our love has to wait in line,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

[Chorus:]
You're a hard-charging woman, and that's something I've admired.
But if you can't show a tender side, love's gonna lose its fire.
So Honey sit down and think it through, and if you're so inclined,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

Love alone was just a word, but that's the way I felt;
While you lived out your fantasies, thinking about yourself.
Now if you're ever gonna make a change, Sweetheart this is the time,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

So Honey sit down and think it through, and if you're so inclined,
You went and broke your momma's heart,
But woman you won't break mine.

Woman, woman, woman you won't break mine.
