Intro

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in the lake at the break of the morn

and a cat named Stevens found a faith he could believe in and Joan Baez

never listened to too much jazz but hippie songs could be heard in our pad

Eddy rabbit sang about how much he loved a rainy night

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 chart

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

Quiet Riot got me started with the banging 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

Debby Gibson, tell me that you think we're all alone

Michael Jackson's in the mirror

Gotta have faith if I wanna see clear

Never gonna give you up, this new love a 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 having 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 cold words that broke the chains I had up on me

got together with my bros at some rehearsal studios

then we played our first rock show and watched the fanbase start to grow

signed the day

made a record all our own

a song comes on the radio and now people go "This is the song"

These are my heart songs (these are my songs)

they never feel wrong (never feel wrong)

and when I wake for goodness sake

these are the songs I keep singing

(these are my heart songs)

these are the songs I keep singing

(they never feel wrong)

these are the songs I keep singing

(these are my heart songs)

these are the songs I keep singing

These are the songs I keep singing
