woman you won't break mine

Singer:ricky skaggs

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 eatin' dirt;

you got right up and shook it off

and i was thinkin' you were hurt. now you're standin' 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. you're a hard-chargin' woman

and that's somethin' 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

thinkin' 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. 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.
