If you're lost and you're alone 
Let me sing you a song 
Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight 
I know what you're goin' through 
I can sympathize with you 
I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life 
I was born with a broken heart 
Born to lose right from the start 
Raised on hand-me-down blues 
That's why I sing the way I do 
A sad six-string, and a jukebox voice 
I'm the lonely people's choice 
I was made to play the part 
I was born with a broken heart 
If the sun should ever shine in your life 
Well, friend, that's fine 
And may you leave behind these
Old troubled times that we've shared 
Oh, but don't look back for me 
I'm where I'm supposed to be 
And anywhere there's a lonely street, I'll be there 
I was born with a broken heart 
Born to lose right from the start 
Raised on hand-me-down blues 
That's why I sing the way I do 
A sad six-string, and a jukebox voice 
I'm the lonely people's choice 
I was made to play the part 
I was born with a broken heart 
Yes, I was made to play the part 
I was born with a broken heart

Aaron Tippin

Aaron Dupree Tippin (born July 3, 1958 in Pensacola, Florida) is an American country music artist and record producer. Initially a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he gained a recording contract with RCA Records in 1990. His debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something" became a popular anthem for American soldiers fighting in the Gulf War and helped to establish him as a neotraditionalist country act with songs that catered primarily to the American working class. Under RCA's tenure, he recorded five studio albums and a Greatest Hits package. By the later half of the 1990s, however, his sales and chart performance began to decline, and he was dropped from the label's roster. more »
