Текст песни: Steve Earle. Hopeless Romantics.

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
