"Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart" is a song made famous by country music singer Randy Travis. Originally released in January 1990, the song was the second track released from Travis' 1989 album, No Holdin' Back.

In March 1990, the song spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. In doing so, it became the first song to stay as long atop the chart in 12 years; the last to accomplish the feat was the 1978 song, "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
