about

Song has a cowboy junkie feel. When you live too long, you get a ragged heart. Also a song about the monotony of life--the quiet suicide as they say.

lyrics

THE RAGGED HEART
Written by Cathy Lemons, BMI: Take No Prisoners

The ragged heart
With a razor's edge
Still standing there
On the ledge

Ready to fly out
My final cry
I’m staring down
into a city sky

You get a ragged heart
When you live too long
You get a ragged heart
That goes on beating
And beating
And beating

You would never know
I have such thoughts
My face is calm
Like a soft sea caught

I have lived too long
I have lost my way
Contemplating murder
In a quiet way

You get a ragged heart
When you live too long
You get a ragged heart
That goes on beating
And beating
And beating

No needle now
No flowing tears
No safety pin
To stitch the fear

It’s a chance we take
When we live too long
We get a ragged heart
Just goes along

I got a ragged heart
‘Cause I lived too long
I got a ragged heart
That goes on beating
And beating
And beating

And beating, and beating, just beating, and beating

I’m Hangin’ on
I’m Hangin’ on
I’m Hangin’ on

Just beating

And beating
And beating
I’m beaten
Beaten
Still beating
Beat
