Matters of the Heart (feat. Cyndi Thomson)

Dollar in his pocket

Bottle in his hand

Old blue jean jacket

'Bout half a plan

Preachers daughter 'neath the

Street light glow

She saw right through him still she

Had to know

'Cause nothing else matters

Like the matters of the heart

She called him crazy

But she took his hand and they went

Dancing like a storm cloud

Singing with the band

If her friends had known well they'd a

Never her let her

'Cause girls like that you know they

Always do better

But nothing else matters

Like the matters of the heart

When it's beating like a kick drum

Banging like a shotgun

Way too late to run from the ringing in your ears

Won't you hear them whisper your name

You head ain't working the same

It's a matter of the heart

Feet on the gravel

Leaning on a ford

Button's undone

Climbing through the door

Heaven shining bright

From up overhead

But sometimes forever's better

Left unsaid

'Cause nothing else matters

Like the matters of the heart

When it's beating like a kick drum

Banging like a shotgun

Way too late to run from the ringing in your ears

Won't you hear them whisper your name

You head ain't working the same

It's a matter of the heart

Well summers end

And shimmers fade

And flames that hot

Well they burn fast anyway

You wouldn't think for some

Young gun rebel

Watching her walk away'd hurt

Like such a devil

But nothing else matters

Oh I wish I still had her

I learned that nothing else matters

Like the matters of the heart

Matters of the heart

Like the matters of the heart
