Heart Like Mine
Miranda Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
'Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing
'Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
I'll fly away from it all one day
I'll fly away
These are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He'll meet me with two long stem glasses
Make a toast to me coming home
'Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand, understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would
"Heart Like Mine" is a country song by Miranda Lambert, released in 2010. The song was written by Miranda Lambert, Travis Howard, and Ashley Monroe. The song is about a woman who is not the conventional type and is often misunderstood because of it. She's not the type of girl you take home to meet your mother, nor is she the kind of person who wears a wedding ring. She admits to smoking cigarettes, which the Christian folks would not approve of, but she smiles and says "God bless."
The woman in the song identifies with Jesus Christ, who is known to have drunk wine, and believes that they would have gotten along fine. She goes on to say that Jesus could calm a storm and heal the blind, and she believes that he would understand a heart like hers. The song also touches on the woman's relationship with her father, who cried when he saw her tattoo, but still loved her anyway.
The lyrics in the song are relatable to many who may feel like they are not the conventional type. It also emphasizes that it is okay not to be perfect, and that even though you may smoke, or have a tattoo, it doesn't mean that you are a bad person. The song talks about acceptance and love, and that's what makes it special.
