I got trampled by my woman

I been cheated and double-crossed

There was a coup in the alter

I had a friend but he got lost

Chorus

They say time can take the pain away

Because time changes everything

But time forgot to change my heart

Yes time forgot to change my heart

He took my woman into the country

And they had a baby girl

And she grew to look just like me

It’s a mean and wicked world

So I took a train into that country

And I found their little shack

I went to drink until the sunset

And in the darkness I came back

Chorus

They say time can take the pain away

Because time changes everything

But time forgot to change my heart

Yes time forgot to change my heart

Outside their window I was creeping

Wicked thoughts they filled my mind

And as my old friends lay there sleeping

I snuck in from behind

I knelt down by my baby’s bedside

And I grazed her lily face

Please listen to your mother dear

For your father is a disgrace

Chorus

She said time can take the pain away

Because time changes everything

But time forgot to change my heart

Yes time forgot to change my heart
