Miranda Lambert’s Tin Man has quickly become a fan favorite from her recently released two-disc album, The Weight of These Wings. In the song, Lambert questions the Tin Man’s reasoning for wanting a heart describing it as “something bound to fall apart.” She then goes on to offer a trade, her heart for his armor. The Tin Man has heard Miranda’s request and has responded with the video below where he sings, “You can have my suit of armored parts, but what’s to guard if you don’t have a heart?”
LYRICS:
Oh my dear Miranda
Tell me can ya feel my emptiness
Is this what you wish?
Ooo ooo ooo ooo Ooo ooo ooo ooo
I wish I was you
Cause what you don’t know
Is I was once whole
Just like new
Once upon a time
I had a love of mine
These rusty parts held a beating heart
But she grew weak and weary
And in my grief I buried
My heart that night
Wish I could miss my wife
Oh to feel is such a beautiful gift
Yes what you feel is such a beautiful gift
I used to care what I did
I had a reason to live
I’m swinging steel at my brain
So I feel something at all
Oh my dear Miranda
You can have my suit of armored parts
But what’s to guard if you don’t have a heart?
