Heart Songs

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in a lake At the break of the mornin' a Cat name 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 Rabbit 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 chart 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 banging of my head Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Slaver 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 gotta have faith if I wanna see clear Never going to give you up, wish me love a 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 cuz 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 Until my roommate said “C'mon”and put a brand new record on It had a baby on it, he was neked on it And then I heard the chords that broke the chains I had upon me. I got together with my bros in some rehearsal studios And then we played our first rock show and watched our fanbase start to grow We signed a deal to get 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 They never feel wrong And when I wake For goodness' sake These are the songs I keep singin' These are the songs I keep singin' These are the songs I keep singin' These are the songs I keep singin' These are the songs I keep singin'
