The Heart

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 growing 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

They say that every song is sweeter when your singing 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, if they dealt you down-n-dirty in a way you don't deserve

You'll felt better if you take it like a man, or a woman

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
