Lyrics
This is a song that my wife wrote
My wife Suzanne wrote with the guy
I was just talking about, Richard Lee
And after they wrote it they had to spend
About thirty minutes writing on the song that came in
Said, "Hey man, we finished the song"
Played it for me, and I mean my mouth dropped open
I just went, "Wow"
One of the best songs I ever heard in my life
So I immediately went out shopping for a red velvet jumpsuit
And a ride-on mower
Planned my early retirement
Still waiting
Now this is a song called, "Comes from the Heart"
When I was young man, my daddy told me
A lesson he learned, it was long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You gon' have to learn to let go
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
Now here's the one thing that I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart
Oh, in life as in love, you know I need to remember
There's such a thing as trying too hard
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
You got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money
Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
Thank you
You all know who Joe Healey is, don't you?
If you don't, if you don't he's a great songwriter
From Lovett, Texas
And one of the best pool shooters I've ever seen
I've lost several twenty dollar bills to him
Anyway the thing I like about Joe
Most of all is he's the only guy I know
Who actually ran away from home and joined the circus
Everybody talks about doing that
But Joe actually did it
And he was a stock handler for the ringleader brothers
And he got to handle the llamas, he said
But as the circus train goes around they
They hired local cowboys and wranglers to help him with the stock
And this is a song Joe wrote about that
Called "the Indian Cowboy", true American folk song
