John (Cougar) Mellencamp - Void In My Heart lyrics

There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill. Been a parent, had three children And a big house on the hill. Hundred dollar in my pocket And it didn't buy a thing. Now there's a void in my heart And a hole in my dreams. Well I poured miles of concrete And strung wire for telephones, Dug ditches when I was a young boy When I first left my parents' home. Sang my songs for millions of people, Sang good and bad news, Now there's a void in my heart And a fire at my fuse. Well I did everything just like they said So I could find happiness. Went to school and got a college degree And at my job I did my best. As I sit here alone tonight I see a billion just like me With a void in their hearts and running from eternity. There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill. I do charity work when I believe in the cause But in my soul it bothers me still. Hey, Lord, well you made me like I am. Can You heal this restlessness? Will there be a void in my heart When they carry me out to rest?
