lyrics

THE BROKEN HEART SIDE OF THE ROAD

She lit my fields with fire from hell. She
burned down my home, salted my well.
She broke all my bones and left me still,
on the broken heart side of the road. She
spun what stories she could tell. She mixed
her potions, cast her spells. And, now she
spends her time on what she wills, on the
broken heart side of the road. And then
a cold rain in the morning, corkscrewed
my cold-planted corn. And then half my
crop took twice the time to grow. Yeah,
they say that she was born in the jagged
rocks and thorns, on the broken heart
side of the road. She spooked my horse
and broke my plow. She killed all my
chickens, stole my cow. She broke my
heart and beat my brow, on the broken
heart side of the road. Yeah, she led me
to believin’ that she never would be leavin’
me. Well, there’s no harder time I ever
knowed. Yeah, they say that she was bornin the jagged rocks and thorns, on the broken heart side of the road. The broken
heart side of the road. She drug my name
all through the mud. She drew both her
guns, said, “Stick ‘em up.” Sister, I’ll say I sure
had enough of the broken heart side of the

about

Bill Scorzari Huntington, New York

“…singer-songwriter Bill Scorzari transcends titles like songwriter or poet. He catapults past categories into a dark ruminative and ultimately life-affirming realm where folklore, memories, pain, prayer, and incantation meet.” - March/April 2020 issue, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Look for his 4th album, “The Crosswinds of Kansas,” in the spring/summer of 2022.
