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' of 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 singing Back in 1991, I wasn't havin' any fun 'Til 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 They 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
