Lyrics

As you go out it's independence day;
But instead I'll just pour myself a drink
It's got to be love, I've never felt this way
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The shadows in the road look like a railroad track
I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back
The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

(Maybe) and I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
(But) and I should prob'ly wait here by the phone
And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The worm is climbin' the other color tree
Robin is back against the wall;
Pour myself a double sympathy
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down
(To put ) don't pound a cold chisel thru my heart
But they were nothin' but apostrophes
O baby, this one's from the heart

I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone?
But the roads get so slipp'ry (when it rains)
I love you more than all these words can ever say
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
