Hearts Don't Rust

Old man with a suitcase at an old run down bus stop

Dressed to the nines in a suit and tie

Holding a rose with a card stock

I asked him where he was going

He said, "Just a mile from here"

There's a brunette beauty who's had my heart for more than 50 years

Astonished at the thought

That a love could last that long

I asked him how he did it

And the words he spoke were strong

He said

"I found that time don't stop, and every road has an end

Age brings rust to old Ford trucks and grey hair to every man

No matter how old I am, I swear on father time

I'll love her long as the moon and stars hang in those southern skies

Yeah, pictures fade, fires burn out, weekends never stick around

You can't stop time and age ain't kind to old Ford trucks

But hearts don't rust"

♪

It really hit me hard, stopped me in my tracks

Got me thinkin' 'bout my life, how I need to love like that

I said, "Man, there's no need waiting, just hop up in my truck

And I'll take you where you're headed

Figure you've waited long enough"

When we pulled up to the spot

I couldn't hold back my tears

'Cause that brunette beauty he loved so long

Had been gone for 20 years

And as I walked through the door tonight

I pulled her close and held her tight

And told her that I love her like I never have before

I said

"I found that time don't stop, and every road has an end

And age brings rust to old Ford trucks and grey hair to every man

No matter how old I am, I swear on father time

I'll love her long as the moon and stars hang in those southern skies

Yeah, pictures fade, fires burn out, weekends never stick around

You can't stop time, age ain't kind to old Ford trucks

But hearts don't rust"

You can't stop time, and age ain't kind to old Ford trucks

But hearts don't rust
