One Good Heart Deserves Another


Play One Good Heart Deserves Another

This song had been kicking around in my head for years…I could not quite get the right feeling of world weary optimism that it needed.  I decided to strip everything down to the bare bones and just play & sing it.  I enlisted the soulful Rachael Davis to sing the female part & off we went…And certainly, One Good Heart Deserves Another wouldn’t you say?

One Good Heart Deserves Another            d. barrett

I’ve been lonesome
I’ve been left behind
I’ve known heartache
of the bluest kind
in my wildest dreams, I never thought i’d find
a woman like you

I’ve known promises
that have not been kept
I’ve got this little baby now
It’s the only thing I don’t regret
‘n I thank the lord, that I finally met
a man like you

ONE GOOD HEART DESERVES ANOTHER
THIS OLD HEART OF MINE WAS WAITING TO RECOVER
A LITTLE SPARK
MAKE A BRAND NEW START
(cuz)ONE GOOD HEART DESERVES ANOTHER

there’s no easy way
no guarantees
love is a crooked road
n’ who knows just where it leads
in my darkest night, I still believe
it leads to you

i’ve been waiting here
just to take you in
‘n you’ll never know my dear
just how long it’s been
but i’m ready now, to try again
because of you…

ONE GOOD HEART DESERVES ANOTHER
THIS OLD HEART OF MINE WAS WAITING TO RECOVER
A LITTLE SPARK
