The Hurt in My Heart by Toby Wilson Lyrics
VERSE 1
A Heading home early, after one helluva day
B Dreaming of you in my arms
C You called me crying. “Honey, are you okay?”
B “Slow down. I don’t understand.”
CHORUS
A Between hiccups and tears, your story unfolded
B Had to pull over, I was laughing so
C I tried my best to sound, all kind and caring
B But to when we were courtin’, my thoughts did go
VERSE 2
A You invited me over to meet your folks
B For a home cooked meal you’d prepared
C ‘I mustn’t blow it’ for you were the one
B But I have to admit, I was scared!
A I arrived Aqua Velva-ed and with a bouquet
B Expecting to be hazed
C But your whole mess of brothers were as nice as can be
B With pity, profound, in their gaze
CHORUS
A Between hiccups and tears, your story unfolded
B Had to pull over, I was laughing so
C I tried my best to sound, all kind and caring
B But to when we were courtin’, my thoughts did go
VERSE 3
A For me your new beau, you wanted to put on a show
B So you insisted on doing the cooking
C From what I hear tell, it didn’t go well
B It’s a blessing the house is still standing
A I watched your kin, watch my every bite
B Though not a one they did take
C And though it was rough, it was a small price to pay
B For what, I knew, was at stake
CHORUS
A Between hiccups and tears, your story unfolded
B Had to pull over, I was laughing so
C I tried my best to sound, all kind and caring
B But to when we were courtin’, my thoughts did go
BRIDGE
A When dinner was over and I was still standing
B Your dad said: “Son, let’s go for a walk!”
C While I croaked “okay”; my brain screamed “NO WAY!”
B Here it comes - - - the dreaded ‘man-to-man’ talk
A He got out his gun, and we went into the woods
B I was sure it was my day to die!
C But he turned and whispered: “Son, you’re okay.”
B And pretended not to cry
CHORUS
A Between hiccups and tears, your story unfolded
B Had to pull over, I was laughing so
C I tried my best to sound, all kind and caring
B But to when we were courtin’, my thoughts did go
OUTRO
A Back to the present my mind did rush
B What did I miss? What did you say?
C “Now honey, don’t fret. I’ll call the vet.”
B “The mutt, he’ll be fine in a day.”
A I hung up the phone and sat there a spell
B Realising, just how much I love you
B Praising my pet for what he done ‘et
B Thinking: “Your cooking’s ain’t killed us yet”
A I hung up the phone and sat there a spell
B Realising, just how much I love you
C Knowing that the hurt in my heart…
B … isn’t heartburn; it’s you
A Heading home early, after one helluva day
B Dreaming of you in my arms
C You called me crying. “Honey, are you okay?”
B “Slow down. I don’t understand.”
CHORUS
A Between hiccups and tears, your story unfolded
B Had to pull over, I was laughing so
C I tried my best to sound, all kind and caring
