The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's something broken in my heart

Oh it was nothing you done

There's something broken in my heart

I guess that's just the way it comes

There's something broken in my heart

Something I just can't fix

There's something broken

Something broken in my heart

I've tried every powder and every pill

To put it back together somehow

Rode high with the fool up on the hill

Come down with the draft horse and the plow

I've been to the land of milk and honey

And honey I'm broke down now

There's something broken

Something broken in my heart

I'm gonna go downtown tonight and find me a woman

Try to keep those jagged edges from my mind

And if I don't start a fight I'll just keep running

'Till I break on through into the morning light

There's something broken in my heart

Oh it was nothing you done

There's something broken in my heart

I know I'm not the only one

There's something broken in my heart

Something I just can't fix

There's something broken

Something broken in my heart
