Matt Woods - My Southern Heart lyrics

Once upon a time you kept
A toothbrush here for me
In that too-small silver cup on
The shelf above your sink
It wasn't quite as heavy as
A weighted golden ring but it was mine

Tangled there we'd sleep under the
Window cracked just so
Enough to let the night air chill
The button of your nose
Last call 'til the morning
You were there for me to hold so many times

Oh, my southern heart
Always finds a way to tear
A damn good thing apart i know some night
You'll find another underneath
Those northern lights

In the morning you'll bring coffee to
That table by the bed
And I'll consider mentioning that
Book you never read
The one I left a year ago
That said what needed said about the crime

I'll call you from some western town
To ask how things have been
And blame it on the miles apart
That keep us only friends
Knowing that the hand that took the
Life what might have been is clearly mine

Oh, my southern heart
Always finds a way to tear
A damn good thing apart i know some night
You'll find another underneath
Those northern lights

Oh, my southern heart
Always finds a way to tear
A damn good thing apart i know some night
You'll find another underneath
Those northern lights
