Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, Among the rags and the bones and the dirt. There's piles of lies, and love gone from her eyes, And old moving boxes full of hurt. Pull up a chair there's one over there. I got whiskey, you're welcome to some. Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, But I didn't reckon you were gonna come. Tried to fix up the place, I know it's a disgrace, You get used to it after a while. With the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out, With their IOU's and their smiles. Bare-naked women keep comin' in And they dance like you wouldn't believe. Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, So please close the door when you leave. Lord, why does the cold get colder each year? Why can't I learn to love? Lord, if you made me, then it's easy to see That you all make mistakes up above. But if I open the door, you will know that I'm poor And my songs are all that I own. Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart. I suggest you leave it alone. Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart I've made you a place in my heart
