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
