Gary Dunham songs
(Verse 1)
Daddy doesn't live with them anymore
Momma's usually in a bad mood
But Sunday nights when they go to the grocery store- baby rides a pony for a minute or two
She puts her penny in and she goes gallopin'-
While momma waits impatient and sad
Not too much fun but baby she smiles anyway-
The most attention all day that she's had
(Chorus)
Oh the heart of a broken child
Is formed in countless little seeds
As one day follows another-
With no love or hopes or dreams
Yeah the heart of a broken child
So empty for so long
We got a generation goin' wrong runnin' wild-
With the heart of a broken child
(Verse 2)
Momma's got another new boyfriend now
She's hardly ever home at night
That's okay 'cause baby, she's got someone too
Who tells her he can make it all alright
Well she buys his lies and she goes gallopin'
Runnin' hard and fast at 15
It's not much fun but baby she goes anyway
His is the most attention she's ever seen
(Chorus)
Oh the heart of a broken child
Is formed in countless little seeds
As one mistake follows another-
With no love or hopes or dreams
Oh the heart of a broken child
So empty for so long
We got a generation goin' wrong runnin' wild-
With the heart of a broken child
(Bridge)
We shut the light right out of our homes and schools
Played our selfish, Godless games like fools
Taught our children their really are no rules
Now we're weeping- but we're just reeping what we've sown
(Verse 3)
Now Baby's got a baby boy of her own-they're all alone
She's usually in a bad mood
But Sunday nights when they go to the grocery store- he rides a pony for a minute or two
He puts his penny in and he goes gallopin'-
While momma smokes distracted and sad
Not too much fun but the boy smiles anyway- the most attention all day that he's had
(Chorus)
Oh the heart of a broken child
Is formed in countless little seeds
As one day follows another-
With no love or hopes or dreams
Oh the heart of a broken child
So empty for so long
We got a generation goin' wrong runnin' wild-
With the heart of a broken child
Oh we're all runnin' wild with the heart of a broken child
Daddy doesn't live with them anymore
Momma's usually in a bad mood
But Sunday nights when they go to the grocery store- baby rides a pony for a minute or two
She puts her penny in and she goes gallopin'-
While momma waits impatient and sad
Not too much fun but baby she smiles anyway-
The most attention all day that she's had
(Chorus)
Oh the heart of a broken child
Is formed in countless little seeds
As one day follows another-
With no love or hopes or dreams
Yeah the heart of a broken child
So empty for so long
We got a generation goin' wrong runnin' wild-
With the heart of a broken child
(Verse 2)
Momma's got another new boyfriend now
She's hardly ever home at night
That's okay 'cause baby, she's got someone too
Who tells her he can make it all alright
Well she buys his lies and she goes gallopin'
Runnin' hard and fast at 15
It's not much fun but baby she goes anyway
His is the most attention she's ever seen
(Chorus)
Oh the heart of a broken child
Is formed in countless little seeds
As one mistake follows another-
With no love or hopes or dreams
Oh the heart of a broken child
So empty for so long
We got a generation goin' wrong runnin' wild-
With the heart of a broken child

With the heart of a broken child
Oh we're all runnin' wild with the heart of a broken child
