lyrics

SEND A PIECE OF YOUR HEART UP AHEAD
words/music: bill mallonee

throw your last few belongings in backseat of a car
Hitching that wagon to a different star
nothing much left...in this old town
stay in one place too long...and the roots get bound

this is were I walked out....upon the stage
this is where I started, putting pen to the page
some things last...& some things break
I’ll leave a part of me here...just for old times sake
chorus:
who knows what’s next?
What chapter? And what verse?
It could have been better...
yeah, it could have been worse
I gave you my best
but that’s over & dead
I’ll send a piece of my heart....up ahead

I can’t say it ain’t sad...I can’t say it’s all ok
life has these lessons...and you just learn ‘em anyway
and Love...well, there's your gift and it’s all you’ll ever need
you learn to give back...what you’ve freely received
