Lyrics By Jerry Barrett:

MY HEART WENT SOUTH (Published as a poem in THE RHYMES OF GREATNESS, presented by the FAMOUS POETS SOCIETY "99, as with all my songs that originally started out as published poetry.) We were young, when we met And in a chapel our love was blessed With all we had and all we are You never left me in the dark. We aimed for love and never missed Each morning I'd wake you with a kiss. My heart went south the day you left He took you home so you could rest Why you're gone I'll never know But I still feel your loving in my soul. There wasn't a day I didn't know That you still loved me even though I wasn't the best That I could be. My heart went south the day you left And all my life's left in a mess With all we've had and all we are I've asked the Lord to kiss your heart. We aimed for love and never missed But I can't wake you with a kiss 'Cuz my heart went south the day you left And in a box, my love, you rest. WHAT LOVE'S ABOUT Them boys at the bar Don't know my car When drink time comes around. While they're shootin' pool I'll be home soon 'Cuz we know what love's about. We know what loves about With our little home, And our little yard. Them boys at the bar Don't know my car When drink time comes around. While they're being fools I'll be home soon As they pass their drinks around. We know what love's about With our little home, And our little yard. We know so well We've come real far.
