Heart Songs

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song
About a boat that sank in the lake
At the break of the morning
A cat named Stevens found a faith
He could believe in
And Joan Baez
I never listened to too much jazz
But hippie songs could be heard in our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang about
How much he loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar
Were there the day John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said he had a hungry heart
Grover Washington was happy
On the day he topped the charts
These are the songs

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singin’

Quiet Riot got me started
With the bangin’ on my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer
Taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though
Sometimes I would listen to the radio
Debbie Gibson
Tell me that you think we’re all alone
Michael Jackson’s in the mirror
I’ve gotta have faith if I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up
Wish me love or wishing well
It takes two to make a thing go right
If the Fresh Prince starts a fight
Don’t you worry for too long
‘Cause you know
These are the songs

These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singin’

Back in 1991
I wasn’t havin’ any fun
‘Till my roommate said
Come on and put a brand new record on
Had a baby on it
He was naked on it
Then I heard the chords
That broke the chains I had upon me
Got together with my bros
In some rehearsal studios
Then we played our first rock show
And watched the fan base start to grow
Signed the deal that gave the dough
To make a record of our own
The song come on the radio
Now people go
This is the song

These are my heart songs (These are my songs)
They never feel wrong (Never feel wrong)
And when I wake for goodness sake
These are the songs I keep singing

These are the songs
I keep singing
These are the songs
I keep singing
These are the songs
I keep singing
These are the songs
I keep singing
