Nope. Not today. Y’all are gonna have to figure this one out yourselves. **[Verse 1 ]** I ain’t gettin’ up, not gonna do it Been wide awake since three The kids are out of school, so screw it I’m takin’ this day for me My oldest sent a text last night Right before the lights went out Haven’t heard from her in months She just wrote, “Hey” What’s that all about? **[Pre-Chorus]** No news, no story, no “How’ve you been?” I wrote back twice which she knows I hate I stared at that phone like I was throwin a dart these doggone young'ens just can't communicate **[Chorus]** Bless your heart, life sure gets rough Nothing makes sense and enough ain’t enough You start with a point, then forget where you are Walk into a room when you were lookin for the car Your patience gets short while your stories get long You know you’re still right when everybody’s wrong Smile real polite while you’re fallin’ apart Shake your head slowly BLESS YOUR HEART!!! **[Verse 2 ]** It’s like dealing with cryptic riddles A Pollock painting of the mind No beginning, ending or middle Just a Where’s Waldo search-and-find The further I get from youth The closer I'm gettin to insane Nothing anymore makes any sense There’s a constant hum inside my brain I stare at one spot in the sky Like everything I know’s on a jet Before I can catch it, the thought flies by What were we talking about? I forget. **[Short Chorus ]** Bless your heart You’re doin’ your best Your mind needs a map And your back needs a rest You’ve misplaced your glasses Don't know where to start **[Spoken]** On top of my head? AIN'T SO DAGGUM SMART! **[Verse 3 ]** They lived beneath my roof for years We let em' go but not too far We watched them grow fought back some tears Now nobody knows where they are We fed ’em, clothed ’em, kept ’em safe Taught ’em kindness from the start You'd think to expect some appreciation Well... where you're at, there you are Anyway, my bed is comfy It’s warm and soft and plush I could stay right here till supper There ain’t no need for rush Dang it, now my back is hurtin’ And something popped inside my knee My hip just joined the conversation Now I gotta get up and go pee!? **[Final Chorus ]** Bless your heart, life sure gets rough Your knees start crackin’ and kids don’t call enough You tell the same story like nobody’s ever heard and it takes fifteen minutes just to find the right word You complain about the weather, your job, and your spine The price of eggs, your neighbors, and the passage of time But I smile real sweet like it don’t tear me apart Nod my head slowly and say to every livin soul Bless your precious heart **[Outro ]** What’s the point, you may be asking Why’d I have to waste your time? Because I wanted to gift you something How it feels to listen to you WHINE! BLESS YOUR HEART![vocal run] BLESS YOUR HEART![vocal run] **[Spoken ]** Love you, though. Now help me off this floor.
