each idea with a shadow

GOOD HEART

I been towing a heavy line

Got caught up in old boots and tin can finds
I been trying so hard to be free
But the weight of the world really got a hold on me

And the poets they write their lines
And the road rises up
Gets me every time
But you got a good heart baby
You got a good heart it’s true
Mine’s not so strong
But you know I got this song
And if you keep the beat
I’ll keep the tune

I been laying up since half past three
Wondering if the world
Finally got the best of me
Well the fates they draw their lines
But you draw me in right on time

You got a good heart baby
You got a good heart it’s true
Mine’s not so strong
But you know I got this song
And if you keep the beat
I’ll keep the tune
