[Verse 1]
Ain't no gift like the present tense
Ain't no love like an old romance
Gotta make hay when the sun is shinin'
Can't waste time when it comes time to dance
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
Long live the heart
Long live the soul
That knows what it wants
That piece you can find
That part is the whole
It never lets go
[Verse 3]
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 they're scared of something else
[Pre-Chorus]
Be my winter in this living hell
Be my one last dying wishing well
Oh well
[Chorus 1]
Long live the heart
Long live the soul
That knows what it wants
That piece you can find
That part is the whole
It never lets go
[Bridge]
Gots to 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
[Chorus 1]
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 lets go
[Chorus 2]
Long live the heart
Long live the soul
That knows what it wants
No matter how far
How heavy this load
It never lets go
[Interlude]
[Chorus 2]
Long live the heart
Long live the soul
That knows what it wants
No matter how far
How heavy this load
It never lets go
