Takin’ Me a Heartbreak
Randall King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't been running with a bad crowd
I ain't dead in a ditch nowhere
Just trying to figure things out
Taking me a heartbreak
She hit me like a Mack truck
When she done me how she did me
Struck a match and just lit me
I'm takin' me a heartbreak
Yeah I'm takin' me a heartbreak
This heart can take a beating
Tough as nails, it's used to being hammered on
But this time it's split in half
It's takin' everything I have to be strong
So I'm takin' me a heartbreak
I might go back home to Mama
I might drive across the country
In my old truck just takin' me a heartbreak
I might take a little time to heal
Hell, I've got a little time to kill
Well, damn my luck, I'm takin' me a heartbreak
This heart can take a beating
Tough as nails, it's used to being hammered on
But this time it's split in half
It's takin' everything I have to be strong
Yeah, so I'm takin' me a heartbreak
I'm just takin' me a heartbreak
Yeah, I'm takin' me a heartbreak
Well, this heart can take a beating
Tough as nails, it's used to being hammered on
But this time it's split in half
It's takin' everything I have to be strong
So I'm takin' me a heartbreak
Just takin' me a heartbreak
I ain't gone off the deep end
Ain't been runnin' with a bad crowd
I ain't dead in a ditch nowhere
Just tryin' to figure things out

Why does Randall not have a major record deal yet???? This young man has “It”.
@dreambeliever3652
I’d say because...... it’s not fitting the modern agenda......Illuminati and new age hybrid crap!
@CHRISTYMCGRADY
Won’t sell out, or either doesn’t like being controlled by the major labels. Just guessing, but I agree he is very talented! Love how his music is not pop-country!
