The Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My daddy was a charmer, boys
He had a lot of style
He was the shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up
The room with just a smile
And i was proud as hell to be his kid
Seems like just as we were
Growin’ close together, he was gone
But it was long enough to
Show what i could be
And i sometimes feel his spirit
Fill my body like a song
And this is what my daddy
Sings to me:
When they dealt me down ’n dirty
In a way i’d not deserved
I felt better when i took it like a man
‘cause if you let ‘em drive you crazy, girl
They’ll shut your business down
Shake if off and get your licks in when you can
‘cause the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end
Seems like every song is sweeter
When your singin’ from the heart
I won’t knock it
‘cause i’ve tried it and it’s true
And i may never get to heaven
But i’ve seen a lot of stars
And i’m here to bring
The same advice to you so:
When they deal you down n’ dirty
In a way you don’t deserve
You’ll feel better if you take it like a man
(or a woman)
‘cause if you let ‘em drive you crazy, boys
They’ll shut your business down
Shake if off and get your licks in when you can
‘cause the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end
