The Best Songs Come From Broken Hearts (feat. Connie Britton)

I stood in the street in the pouring rain
didn't give a [bad word] about anything 
I said take me, Oh Lord, just take me
I went back in the house picked up this guitar
and somehow my fingers found their way to my heart
and it save me
oh Lord it saved me
I'm not proud of my mistakes
but thanks to you I've got so much to say
Cause the best songs come from broken hearts
from busted dreams and beat up guitars
from times like these when i'm down on my knees it's true
ya gotta dig deep within the well of your soul
to find the will to sing the words that only you know 
about going through hell and living to tell the truth
but the best songs come from broken hearts
I fell for a dream it was not what it seemed
by the time I woke up I had lost everything
thought I'd die without you but I came to life without you
yeah cause God has a way of working things out
if not for the music where would I be now
I'm gonna write about you
you bet I'm gonna write about you
Cause despite the obvious mistake
thanks to you I've got so much to say
Cause the best songs come from broken hearts
from busted dreams and beat up guitars
from times like these when i'm down on my knees it's true
ya gotta dig deep within the well of your soul
to find the will to sing the words that only you know 
about going through hell and living to tell the truth
but the best songs come from broken hearts
Yeah ya gotta dig deep within the well of your soul
to find the will to sing the words that only you know
about goin through hell and living to tell the truth
but i'm willing to tell the truth
cause the best songs come from 
ooh the best songs come from
yeah the best songs come from broken hearts
