Traded In Heart


By: Felix L. Perry

 

Good to see you again Missy

No there’s not really much new

Maybe one or two little things guess


If you got a minute I’ll tell you

 

 

Chorus:

Well I traded in my old heart today

Got me this Chevy and a pack of gum

That's the best that I could get for it

Now my old dog Red and I feel dumb…

 

Oh it’s okay you know Red and I'll get by

Old heart was broken since you went away
And the damn thing cost me too much
To try and keep it happy anyway


 I see you finally got yourself a new one
Man...its so shiny, bright and new
You know I hate to admit it baby
That heart looks so damn good on you

 

Well I guess I'd better fire up this old Chevy

I still need to swap my soul for rum

Come on Red it's time to say goodbye

Here...you can have the pack of gum


 


PS: Momma got run over by the train, drinkin Jim Beam after walking the tracks when she got out of prison. LOL

Where's the part about having your bible stolen? LOL. I loved this one! ;) Silver

PS: you are right what you said in response to my poem. Regardless of what's said, they do care. I just wish they'd keep the ole stuff to themselves and pat me on the hand or shoulder instead. ;)

You are so dam good at these, Darlin.. Just the right balance of wit and narrative, together with a natural rhythm that rocks us all on through. Whether happy or tinged with sadness, your Rolling Stone upbeat temperament shows in your song-writing. You MUST play them for us sometime... Promise?? Love, patsyKline Kate xx

The dust storm had ruined all the crops, Recession, a few thing make you happy, like a swig of Jim Beam and a kiss to the loco of an incoming train.
I almost hear the song on the campfires.

Yep all the perfect pieces for a CW smash hit! Get down here to the the south to Nashville, I know people there! Well one at least but he is in the business so you and Kenny Chesney or Tim McGraw can sing a duet.
Fee, this was really really good. Now add a twang to your voice when you sing it and you'll be the hottest property in Nashville.
Love it!!

Actually, getting a Chevy AND a pack of gum for a broken down, beat up heart sounds like a pretty good trade. Most with broken hearts only get misery. You done good!

Please be sure to let all of know when you make your debut in Nashville - even if it's in front of the Grand Ole' Opry. LOL

You my dear friend are a wonderful tunesmith. Do you play any instruments or sing? If so, you should head on over to Nashville; they can use a singer like you! :) (Grand Ole Opry, look out!) Very well done, Fee; I love your c/w songs!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
