Hopeless Romantics

Steve Earle

You can love most of the people


Most of the time


Now and again if you're lookin' I'm sure


You will find


Someone who's helplessly hoping


That someday


They'll finally find the one


Hopeless romantics keep hoping that


Someday will come


Used to be you could be sure that a


Warrior was true


Nowadays everyone knows that it's cool to be blue


Constantly circling close to the flame And then stopping on a dime


Hopeless romantics will go down in flames every time


Hopeless romantics drop everything and run


When they find a broken heart


Always afraid that they're missing someone


With time on their hands and a missing part


So one of these nights when you're


Sitting at home all alone


And you've finally admitted you're lonely


Right down to the bone


You might as well get on out in it


'Cause you've got everything to lose


And hopeless romantics are always


At home with the blues


And a broken heart


Find the missing part


Hopeless romantics are usually


Hopelessly true
