10. Heart Is A River
(Real Thing, 2007)
I was not born
In a coal mining town
My father was not strong
My mother was not proud
But I've got a case of
The down and dirty blues
So when I come to see you
You know I am for you
My heart is a river
O my glory
The gathering clouds
Are sinking slowly
To swallow the town
And I've got a case of
The down and dirty blues
My blue eyed darling
You know my heart is true
My heart is a river
Step right up
Take a little sip from
This here my broken cup
Gonna tell you a little story
From a man I knew
Before he went above
He said one's to blow your cover
Two is for the show
Three's to get ready
Four's to blow the door
Five is for your lover
Six is for your pride
Seven's for the heaven
You won't see before you die
My heart is a river
My love is delivered
