Foolish Heart from Highway Queen by Nikki Lane

Foolish heart, don’t let me down
Leave me broken in this town
Cause I’ve been gettin' on just fine
Got no need to lose my mind

Foolish heart, I beg you please
Let me fall asleep with ease
Cause there’s no reason I should stay
Laying here so wide awake

You got me hanging by a word
Something you said that makes me feel like I can’t make it on my own
Don’t care if I make it out alive
You got me hanging by a word
And now there’s nothing I can do to get my mind right
There’s nothing I can do to get my mind off you
You’ve got me hanging by a word
It’s so absurd, foolish heart

We went driving out today
Took our fears so far away
To see if we’d get on just fine
Or if it’d pass like fleeting time
We laid out in fields of white
The cotton buried us alive
And as we laid with hearts on mend
I prayed the day would never end

Cause you got me hanging by a word
Something you said that makes me feel like I can’t make it on my own
Don’t care if I make it out alive
You got me hanging by a word
And now there’s nothing I can do to get my mind right
There’s nothing I can do to get my mind off you
You’ve got me hanging by a word
It’s so absurd, foolish heart

Foolish heart
Foolish heart

Cause you got me hanging by a word
Something you said that makes me feel like I can’t make it on my own
Don’t care if I make it out alive
You got me hanging by a word
And now there’s nothing I can do to get my mind right
There’s nothing I can do to get my mind off you
You got me hanging by a word
You got me hanging by a word
You got me hanging by a word
You got me hanging by a word
It’s so absurd, foolish heart
