Our Restless Hearts Lyrics & Chords By Mark Heard

Of all the crooks emotion is the worst one

He took your answers and he took my questions

We’re like two drunks who’ve lost their prize possessions

Our jungle conversations tend to digress

I am a tiger you become a tigress

The sharpest fangs won’t get us out of this mess

Who holds the reins on our restless hearts

Our restless hearts

Our lines are written someplace in the classics

I’ll be the actor you can be the actress

I doubt if Romeo was so sarcastic

I fix the blame on you - must be genetic

You smear the blame on me like cheap cosmetics

We pass the blame until we look pathetic

Who holds the reins on our restless hearts

Our restless hearts

It doesn’t pay to lie when the truth is so cheap

It doesn’t help to cry when the tears are only face-deep

Love is not a thing that we can simply make

It just might help to give when the instinct is to take

If I’m a bug then squash me with a hammer

If I’m a thug then lock me in the slammer

If this is love then give your best example

Who holds the reins on our restless hearts

Our restless hearts
