Lyrics

The fact of the matter is darlin',
We're joined at the heart

With my faith in a six-string
I'm playing thirty one-night stands
From Quota, North Dakota on down to Birmingham

Don't be scared I'll forget you
Just 'cause we're miles apart
'Cause the fact of the matter is darlin',
We're joined at the heart

I've seen honeys from Missouri
And damsels from Baton Rouge
But nothing comes close to being close to you

Don't be scared I'll forget you
Just 'cause we're miles apart
'Cause the fact of the matter is darlin',
We're joined at the heart

Joined at the heart but when I'm away
Each moment feels like forever
Joined at the heart and I'm countin' the days
Till we can be back together, forever, and evermore

You're the first one I think of
When I gaze at the morning light
And you're the last one I think of
When I tell the world 'good night'

So don't be scared I'll forget you
Just 'Cause we're miles apart
'Cause the fact of the matter is darlin',
We're joined at the heart. Come on!

Joined at the heart but when I'm away
Each moment feels like forever
Joined at the heart and I'm countin' the days
Till we can be back together, forever, and evermore

Till then you can meet me in my dreams each night
After the curtain falls
When I'm not makin' music, I'm stir crazy
Climbin' the walls

So don't be scared I'll forget you
Just 'cause we're miles apart
'Cause the fact of the matter is darlin'.
We're joined at the heart
Yeah, the fact of the matter is darlin',
We're joined at the heart,
Yeah, we're joined at the heart
