The Heart Lacy J. Dalton

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
