Liner Notes

So, Jerry, really--you think you're "Chris Stapleton" now?

Maybe Rod Stewart on his death bed...

You're actually trying to put some "grit" in your vocal? Close, buddy--let's just say what you're doing, um, "rhymes"...

So, yeah--not sure I'll be going for that "aesthetic" any time in the near future. 😉

But I hope you enjoy the song!

DO YOUR HEART GOOD

In the shadow of the valley,
where the rivers run dry,
I've been walking through
the darkness,
with no stars in the sky.
But there's a fire deep within me,
burning steady and bright,
I won't let these troubles break me,
I'll stand up and fight.

(Chorus)
Do your heart good, rise above
the storm,
Find your strength in the struggle,
let your spirit be reborn.
Through the trials and the pain,
know you're understood,
Every step that you take will
do your heart good.

I've seen mountains tall and mighty,
that I thought I'd never climb,
Felt the weight of the world
on my shoulders, but I kept
my faith in time.
There's a light that keeps on shining,
even when the road is rough,
It's the love that keeps me going,
it's the courage to be tough.

(Chorus)
Do your heart good, rise above
the storm,
Find your strength in the struggle,
let your spirit be reborn.
Through the trials and the pain,
know you're understood,
Every step that you take will
do your heart good.

(Bridge)
In the whispers of the wind,
I hear a song of hope,
Telling tales of those before me,
who found ways to cope.
They remind me I'm not alone,
in this journey that I face,
With every breath, with every beat,
I embrace my grace.

(Chorus)
Do your heart good, rise above
the storm,
Find your strength in the struggle,
let your spirit be reborn.
Through the trials and the pain,
know you're understood,
Every step that you take will
do your heart good.

So I'll keep on moving forward,
with my head held high,
Through the heartache and
the battles, I'll reach
for the sky.
For in every scar and story,
lies the courage and the proof,
That overcoming every challenge,
does your heart good.
