Southern Heart

So this song is tentatively titled "Southern Heart"... I will be posting a video of it soon. It is a folk-country kind of song... By the time I am done with the album recording it will be pretty alt-country... I guess you could call it Americana.

It was written for a girl I have pined over for years. Tried writing a song for her for YEARS, but was never album to. Now I have this one and a few more in the mix. This will be a Grant Walker song and not a speakercoil song as I plan on recording all parts myself.

"Southern Heart"
All words and music by Grant Walker, all rights reserved

She’s a northern girl with a southern heart
So she tends to loose her way
In the cold arms of a New England house
From which she always runs away

For twenty years I pled my case
And reluctantly hung my head
As the smooth tongued suitors
Sought the warmth of her bed

And Amy tell me once again
What lies beneath the eyes
And the messages you disguise
Oh lord, am I deserving of your love
Yet

On a seesaw on the playground

I began to steal your friends
Then in high school I dogged your heels
Reaching for your hand

Grant for granted, you’re never alone
In the evenings ahead
Doubt in the mind of a nostalgic heart
But you lead me on again

So Amy tease me once again
With eyes beneath the lies
Of the feelings you disguise
Oh lord, will you put faith within my love
Yet

Grand Central delusional track change
But it’s worth my while
Hopping the 9:12 to Poughkeepsie
Just to see you
Just to see you

And Amy tell me once again
What ties my wandering eyes
To the smiles that you hide
Oh lord, I’m falling back in love
Yet again

Deserving of a lifetime of songs
That I’m too afraid to play
Reassuring you of the obvious
That my love will not stray
No I will not stray
No I will not stray
