Gordon Lightfoot sang a song About a boat that sank in the lake At the break of the morning A Cat named Stevens Found a faith he could believe in And Joan Baez, I never listened to too much jazz But hippie songs could be heard in our pad Eddie Rabbit sang about how much he loved a rainy night ABBA, Devo, Benetar were there the day John Lennon died Mr. Springsteen said he had a hungry heart Grover Washington was happy on the day he topped the chart These are the songs These are my heart songs They never feel wrong And when I wake for goodness sake These are the songs I keep singing Quiet Riot got me started with the bangin' of my head Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer taught me how to shred I got to admit though Sometimes I would listen to the radio Debbie Gibson, Tell me that you think we're all alone Michael Jackson's in the mirror I gotta have faith if I want to see clear Never gonna give you up Wish me love, a wishing well It takes two to make a thing go right If the Fresh Prince starts a fight
Don't you worry for too long 'Cause you know These are the songs These are my heart songs (these are my songs) They never feel wrong (never feel wrong) And when I wake for goodness sake (these are my songs) These are the songs I keep singing Back in 1991 I wasn't havin' any fun 'Til my roomate said, "Come on" and put a brand new record on Had a baby on it He was naked on it Then I heard the chords That broke the chains I had upon me Got together with my bros In some rehearsal studios Then we played our first rock show And watched the fanbase start to grow We signed the deal that gave the dough To make a record of our own Song come on the radio Now people go, "This is the song." These are my heart songs (these are my songs) They never feel wrong (never feel wrong) And when I wake for goodness sake These are the songs I keep singing These are the songs I keep singing These are the songs I keep singing These are the songs I keep singing These are the songs I keep singing
