Simple Secrets of My Heart

All the world spins around and around
I'm driving from the cities to the towns
And I'm tired of crossing state lines all the time
I'm tired of saying goodbye
A cup full of coffee and a soul full of blues
Sunrise and a sunset, and I think of you
They say on the highway you don't shed a tear
No, you don't miss a thing
But now I'm missing you wishing you were here
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
Don't wear it on my sleeve
I got it locked in a box, and you got the key
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
I find it hard to breathe
Well it takes a beat, a beat, a beat beat beating
And the clock spins around and around
I'm listening to the radio on the edge of some small town
And I'm tired of counting the minutes all the time
I'm tired of lonely love songs easing my mind
Just about midnight I fill up the car, fill up my tire
I try and make it 'til daylight with you on my mind
They say it will be easier once I reach the state line
But ain't nothing gon' be easy about
Missing you all the time, no
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
Don't wear it on my sleeve
I got it locked in a box, and you got the key
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
I find it hard to breathe
Well it takes a beat, a beat, a beat beat beating
And oh, my head spins around and around
I'm trying to make it through the day
With my world upside down
And I'm tired of catching my own tears all the time
I'm tired of people talking about how love is blind
An old dusty bar and a beat up guitar
I'm writing this song on the hood of my car
They say love songs aren't worth a dime
"Everyone's writing 'bout love all the time"
Well, this song's a little different
It ain't spent, and it ain't used
Cause, oh, little darling, this one's for you
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
Don't wear it on my sleeve
I got it locked in a box, and you got the key
Oh, the simple secrets of my heart
I find it hard to breathe
And, oh, it takes a beat, a beat, a beat beat beating
