  • Ain't no gift like the present tense
    Ain't no love like an old romance
    Got'sta make hay when the sun is shinin'
    Can't waste time when it comes time to dance

    Slammin' this door with a heavy hand
    Signin' this line like a deed to land
    Keeping in touch with the windows down
    Dreading this night since the rain hit the ground

    Long live the heart
    Long live the soul
    That knows what it wants
    That piece you can find
    That part is the whole
    And it never let's go

    Always tryin' to be the one outlaw
    Goes where he wants never does get caught
    Pushing this line like the Lord ain't comin'
    Building this house like he's scared of something else

    Be my winter in this living hell
    Be my one last dying wishing well
    Oh well

    Long live the heart
    Long live the soul
    That knows what it wants
    That piece you can't find
    That part is a whole
    And it never let's go

    Got'sta make hay when the sun is shinin'
    Can't waste time when it comes time to dance
    Keeping in touch with the windows down
    Dreading this night since the rain hit the ground

    Long live the heart
    Long live the soul
    That knows what it wants
    That piece you can't find
    That part is a whole
    And it never let's go

    Long live the heart
    Long live the soul
    That knows what it wants
    No matter how far
    How heavy this load
    It never let's go

    Long live the heart
    Long live the soul
    That knows what it wants
    No matter how far
    How heavy this load
    It never let's go Writer/s: Nathaniel Rinehart, William Rinehart
