There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine

He sat down and took her hand and whispered
Baby, it's alright
You may never be no saint
But you're an angel in my sight
Now I'm just a simple man
I ain't no good with words
I've had a little trouble in my life
But I guess you've heard

But there is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret now to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine

They sat on the front porch and listened to the traffic
And watched the evening sun go down
And they thought about it, talked about it
Thought about it, talked about it
Trying to find away out of this town
Ah, but they never did
No, they live there still
It's not so easy to break away, break away
No matter what you will

There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret now to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine

He held her in his arms
Buried his face in her hair
And tried to read the future in the passing headlights
But I guess he got it wrong

So, they got married and tried to settle down
But it all fell apart
I guess you can't live on dreams, no
But hey, it's not a bad place to start

There is no secret in this heart of mine
There is no secret to what you'll find
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
In this heart of mine
