You Only Leave Your Heart Once

[Verse 1]
All those people who have pieces
Of you spread out 'cross the plains
Left your heart in Oklahoma
Left it lying out in the rain
Left your arms in too many places
With your eyes as big as fun
Calling cards and other traces
But you only leave your heart once

[Verse 2]
Can I get it, get it back?
Can I give it once again?
Said this cowboy to his shadow
Which was made of wind and of rain
When I touch you I feel distance
Never know if yours or mine
Have I left it, has it left me?
Oh, my darling Clementine

[Bridge]
The blistering heat
And the hay down your shirt
The barbed wire fences
Where the greenhorns get hurt

[Verse 3]
At a campfire in Colorado
Or a beach on some dark sea
A smoke-filled room in El Dorado
Singing nearer my goddamn to thee
Damp leather and faster horses
And a south wind bringing rain
Too many miles for changing courses
Pushing on that point of pain
Left your arms in too many places
With your eyes as big as guns
Calling cards and other traces
But you only leave your heart once
