I used to randomly write down song lyrics (that I thought were cool) in various notebooks. I was just thumbing through my old sketch pad and came across this one..thought I'd drop it in here.
The Greeks were right! It's the Heart that matters. Don't try to tell me it's all in my head, cause thinkin' too much only gives me a headache (a relatively minor annoyance) and I know where I hurt when promises are broken and dreams die. And that lump in your throat when your first born starts walking or talking back. That's your heart, fool, ten sixes too big. Bangin' away at your chest, hollerin' "LET ME OUT OF THIS BOX AND I'LL REALLY FUCK YOU UP!" And sometimes you do and sometimes you don't and sometimes your little feeble ass mind'll fool you again and tell you "I'm runnin' this Motherfucker!" But just let the BEAST out of the box and hide and watch how fast ol' badASS brother brain'll cut and run. But Heart is a dumb animal, muscle and blood. A pit bull on a mission...and he's hangin' in like Gungadin. Good to the last drop of blood.

Reminds me of some Guy Clark lyrics, and HE's got some great ones too, but yeah...I love the country colloquialism/ honest in your face way about it. Makes me smile.
