My Heart Plays These Songs
(Effron White/Chad Roland)

My fingers don’t pick this guitar
My voice don’t sing along
My foot can’t keep a beat
To the tick of a metronome
I’m a clumsy contradiction
I’m a picker but I’m all thumbs
I can’t carry a tune in a bucket
It’s my heart that plays these songs

I went to see the record man
He laid down the rules of the game
You're gonna need a lot of money
If you want the fame
We’ll put a band together
Dye your hair in neon tones
No thanks I’d rather go solo
It’s my heart that plays these songs

Instrumental Break (1/2 verse)…

So I thought I’d go check out the scene
And find a cool place to play
I talked to the bartender
At a bar down on Broadway
He said we dig your music
Can you play “Bad to the Bone”?
No I don’t do jukebox covers
It’s my heart that plays these songs

Instrumental Break (verse)

I was laying with my baby
She’s smoother than a guitar neck
I was playing on her heartstrings
To her syncopated breath
She said your love is a melody
And you never sing it wrong
I just do it the way I feel it
It’s my heart that plays these songs

TAG:
I’m a clumsy contradiction
I’m a picker but I’m all thumbs
I can’t carry a tune in a bucket
It’s my heart that plays these songs
It’s my heart that plays these songs
