Song Description

A love that has gone cold but is still there just grown a bit cold

Lyrics

Drove by your family farm today
Something told me to stop and take a walk.
To the spot you hid love letters
In the barn under your daddy's shop
There was an empty Dr. Pepper
And a pocket knife in that cigar box
Well that old barn is almost gone where we woke to the Rooster's crow
After carving our names in the rafter the night I gave you my soul, so

WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART
YOUR COOKIE JAR OR COFFEE CAN
IN THAT OLD HOLLOW OAK
OR A TREASURE CHEST IN THE SAND
WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART

I felt you fading away
Like the wood in that barn
It's a day like every other
cold and cloudy since you've gone
I know the bridge hasn't been built
Over the canyon that keeps us apart
Well I sat there looking round playing our reruns in my head
Looking for something that could show me the way to move on instead, so

WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART
YOUR COOKIE JAR OR COFFEE CAN
IN THAT OLD HOLLOW OAK
OR A TREASURE CHEST IN THE SAND
WHERE'D YOU BURY IT


I know you had something to say
If I could have heard through my pain
I'm still trying to fill the space you left
As my pain and your memory fade, so

WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART
YOUR COOKIE JAR OR COFFEE CAN
IN THAT OLD HOLLOW OAK
OR A TREASURE CHEST IN THE SAND
WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART
I'M GONNA NEED IT BACK
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING IN THE DARK
WHERE'D YOU BURY MY HEART
