This One's From The Heart

Lyrics

I should go out and honk the horn,
 It's Independence Day
 But instead I 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 on the wall look like a railroad track
 I wonder if he's ever comin' back
 The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
 Oh baby, this one's from the heart
 Maybe I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
 But 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 avocado tree
 Rubbin' its 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 pound a cold chisel through my heart
 But they were nothin' but apostrophes
 Oh baby, this one's from the heart
 I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone?
 But the roads get so slippery when it rains
 I love you more than all these words can ever say
 Oh baby, this one's from the heart
