Every Bit Of My Heart
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 5–23-25 All Rights Reserved ©


Verse 1:
In a crowded room, it’s just us two,
Every word you say feels like a dream come true.
Your laughter dances lightly in the air,
In this quiet moment, love’s the only thing we share.

Pre-Chorus:
Underneath the moonlight, our dreams take flight,
In the silence of our love, everything feels right.
Holding on tightly, knowing we’ll be fine,
You’re the anchor in the storm, my heart’s design.

Chorus:
Every bit of my heart, it’s yours to hold,
In the warmth of your embrace, I feel the world grow old.
With every heartbeat, I am drawn to you,
Every bit of my heart, forever I’ll be true.

Verse 2:
Through the ups and downs, we’ve come so far,
With you beside me, I can touch the stars.
Your whispers in the dark fuel my greatest prize,
With every glance, you set my spirit to rise.

Bridge:
As the world spins, our love remains steady,
In your arms, I’m strong, always ready.
With every moment that we get to embrace,
Every bit of my heart finds its perfect place.

Pre-Chorus:
Underneath the moonlight, our dreams take flight,
In the silence of our love, everything feels right.
Holding on tightly, knowing we’ll be fine,
You’re the anchor in the storm, my heart’s design.

Chorus:
Every bit of my heart, it’s yours to hold,
In the warmth of your embrace, I feel the world grow old.
With every heartbeat, I am drawn to you,
Every bit of my heart, forever I’ll be true.

Outro:
So here’s my promise, let our story unfold,
With every bit of my heart, it’s a love to behold.
Through the laughter and tears, I’ll always stay true,
Every bit of my heart is forever with you.

Can’t Stay Away
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 7-22-25 All Rights Reserved ©


Verse 1:
"Every night is like a spinning carousel,
Memories drown me in their spell.
I walk through halls echoing your name,
Searching shadows, but it feels the same."

Chorus:
"I can't stay away, no matter how far I roam,
Your love is my anchor, you're my home.
With every mile, it feels more profound,
Our hearts are a rhythm, a lost and found."

Verse 2:
"In crowded rooms, I'm all alone,
My heart’s still there, where you've always grown.
The laughter fades, but your smile remains,
A melody dancing, breaking these chains."

Bridge:
"Storms may come, but your voice is my air,
I reach for you, but you're never there.
Like a lighthouse guiding through the night,
I'll find my way back, your love is my light."

Chorus (Reprise):
"I can't stay away, I hear your laughter in the night.
Every shadow's haunted, love’s eternal light.
Through the whispers of time, I promise to stand,
Together forever, hand in loving hand."

Outro:
"No, I can’t stay away, this heart's in chains,
Forever tied to your name.
No distance too great, no time to sway,
I’ll find my way back, I can’t stay away."

Mighta Known By Now
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 7-24-25 All Rights Reserved ©

Verse 1
I threw my tackle box in the back of the truck,
Thought a day on the lake was my kind of luck.
But I left her alone on our special day,
Now I'm sittin' on this boat wishin’ I could say,

Chorus
Mighta known by now, love's a two-way street,
Should’ve read the signs right there at her feet.
Every little hint, like the look on her face,
But I chose my fishin' rod over our embrace.

Verse 2
Tried to cook her dinner, set the mood just right,
But I burned the meatloaf, started a kitchen fight.
Thought a grand surprise would win her heart again,
But all that I did was make her question when…

Chorus
Mighta known by now, I ain’t no perfect guy,
But her smile’s the reason I keep tryin’, oh why?
Every little blunder, I can still hear her voice,
Saying, "Honey, you know you had a choice."

Bridge
Now I sit and wonder if I can change my ways,
If I paid more attention, maybe less heartache stays.
But love takes its time, and I’m tryin’ to be strong,
So here’s to the lessons learned, and the heartache song.

Verse 3
Thought I’d plan a getaway, just us two for a spin,
Booked that little cabin, thought I’d finally win.
But I forgot the snacks, and the cooler's dry,
With no wine for the sunset, I saw her roll her eye.

Chorus
Mighta known by now, love's a two-way street,
Next time I’ll listen, I’m gonna feel complete.
With every little hint, I’ll hold her even near,
'Cause without her, buddy, I’d be lost out here.

Outro:
So I’ll take her hand, and I’ll hold on tight,
This time I’ll be the one that gets it right.
With every mistake, I’m learning somehow,
From the fishin' to the fights, mighta known by now.
Yeah, I mighta known by now, that love’s worth every tear,
If I keep on tryin', I’ll make my intentions clear.

“You’d think I’d a known by now, from all my blunders.
But I keep on messin' up, guess love’s just a rougher.”
“Mighta known by now, I ain't no perfect guy, 
But her smile's the reason I keep trying, MY……MY……MY……!”

I knew my heart had found its place,
Through the highs and all the lows,
I'll stand beside you, that’s how love grows.

In your arms, I’m never alone.

Together, we’ll write a love story untold.

Outro
When the world fades away, it’s just us two,
In your eyes, my every dream will come true,
You’re the story,  I’ll never outgrow,
I’m gonna love you, Babe,
Forever and always……….., I want you to know

The More I Believe
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–15-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

Verse 1
In a world that's filled with shadows,
And the night is long and dark,
I find the strength within the silence,
As I search for that guiding spark.

The storms may try to shake my heart,
But there's a light that will never fade,
Through every doubt and every fear,
I know that I’m never lost or afraid.

Chorus
The more I believe, the more I can see,
Through the valleys and the mountains, His love sets me free.
When the weight of the world is heavy and cold,
He lifts me high with a faith made of gold.
In the darkest of nights, His grace will shine through,
The more I believe, the closer I get to You.

Verse 2
When the news brings us down, and hope feels so far,
I turn my eyes to the heavens,
And I whisper my prayers to the stars.
With each tear that falls, I know He hears me,
In this journey, I’m not alone,
The whispers of love remind me daily,
Together, we’ve built this sacred home.

Chorus
The more I believe, the more I can see,
Through the valleys and the mountains, His love sets me free.
When the weight of the world is heavy and cold,
He lifts me high with a faith made of gold.
In the darkest of nights, His grace will shine through,
The more I believe, the closer I get to You.

Bridge
Every moment of doubt, every trial I face,
I stand on His promise, I run in His grace.
For the journey is tough, but I won't turn away,
With a heart full of faith, come what may.

Chorus
The more I believe, the more I can see,
Through the valleys and the mountains, His love sets me free.
When the weight of the world is heavy and cold,
He lifts me high with a faith made of gold.
In the darkest of nights, His grace will shine through,
The more I believe, the closer I get to You.


Verse 3
As the sun sets low, casting shadows on the ground,
I gather up my blessings, in these moments, I'm found.
With every hill I've climbed, I've learned to stand tall,
Faith is my anchor, no matter how I fall.

Outro
So, here's to the journeys, both the rough and the wide,
In the arms of the Lord, I know I can abide.
With strength in my heart, I’ll rise up again,
Through trials and tears, I’m never alone in this pain.

The Lights Don’t Shine in Nashville Anymore
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–21-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

(Verse 1)
The neon out at The Rusty Spur, it bleeds a tired red,
Just like the engine of the Ford I drove down here instead.
Thirty years ago, my voice was loud, my dreams were bigger still,
A hundred miles of open road from that back Tennessee hill.
They said I was "one song away," I came too close to count,
Then the steel guitars went out of style, and the waters dried the fount.

(Chorus)
Oh, the lights don't shine in Nashville anymore,
They swapped out truth for glitter on the floor.
Yeah, the music changed and left me standin' by the door,
But I'm still standin' here, with a story and a worn-out Martin score.
I guess the kind of gold I'm chasin' ain't the kind they keep in store,
The lights don't shine in Nashville anymore.

(Verse 2)
By day I haul a recliner, strapped down with chain and rope,
Drivin’ furniture down gravel roads and runnin' on just hope.
But I keep a coffee-stained notebook in the passenger’s seat,
For the poetry that finds you on the back of a receipt.
I write about the hard work, the heartbreak, and the dust,
The three things that a man can always learn to trust.
Every Friday night, the regulars know the cue,
“Sing us one of your own, Clay,” and I always see it through.

(Chorus)
Oh, the lights don't shine in Nashville anymore,
They swapped out truth for glitter on the floor.
Yeah, the music changed and left me standin' by the door,
But I'm still standin' here, with a story and a worn-out Martin score.
I guess the kind of gold I'm chasin' ain't the kind they keep in store,
The lights don't shine in Nashville anymore.

(Bridge)
Then a girl in the shadows, she came walkin' up to me,
Said, “That song hit me harder than anything on CMT.”
I told her I wrote it on a Tuesday, deliverin' a new fridge,
With George Jones playing soft and low beneath a concrete bridge.
She said, “Everyone tells me to give up, that it’s too hard to win,”
“But listenin’ to you, Clay, I think I’m gonna try again.”
I watched her walk out in the rain, and I softly tuned the strings,
And whispered to the shadows the comfort that freedom brings.

(Guitar Solo - Features a heavy, lonesome steel guitar)

(Chorus)
Oh, the lights don't shine in Nashville anymore,
They swapped out truth for glitter on the floor.
Yeah, the music changed and left me standin' by the door,
But I'm still standin' here, with a story and a worn-out Martin score.
I guess the kind of gold I'm chasin' ain't the kind they keep in store,
The lights don't shine in Nashville anymore.

(Outro)
I may never play the Opry stage, no, that ship is long gone by,
But I reckon I'll die with a song in my hands, beneath a Tennessee sky.
Yeah, I sat down this morning, and the pen began to tap,
Chasin' not the spotlight, but the truth upon the map.
(Fade out with guitar picking the melody)
The lights don't shine in Nashville anymore...

Whiskey And Wheartfields And Rain
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
©COPYRIGHT 12–18-2025 All Rights Reserved ©


[Intro: Acoustic guitar and distant fiddle]

[Verse 1: Male]
Don't tell my father
That I've been drinkin' again
Lord, I love that man
And I don't wanna let him down
But I've been on the bottle since
You got that gold band

[Verse 2: Female]
Don't tell my mama
That you saw me again
'Cause Lord knows I tried
But he just ain't you
And I can't help myself
When you're in town

[Chorus]
I still feel your lips
In the kiss of a bottle
The taste of you
In the swallow
You feel my skin
In the touch of his hands
And I guess some things never change
Like whiskey and wheatfields and rain

[Verse 3: Male]
My boy asked why Grandpa’s eyes
Got that cloudy look again
Said, "Is Daddy mad at heaven?"
I just poured another round
While the porch swing creaked your name

[Verse 4: Female]
My sister found my Sunday dress
Stained with bourbon and tears
She didn’t say a word—just hugged me
Like she knew we both lost more
Than just a wedding day

[Chorus]
I still feel your lips
In the kiss of a bottle
The taste of you
In the swallow
You feel my skin
In the touch of his hands
And I guess some things never change
Like whiskey and wheatfields and rain

[Bridge: Pedal steel swells softly]
We swore we’d build a life
Out past the county line
Now all we grow is silence
And this slow-burning shame

[Chorus]
I still feel your lips
In the kiss of a bottle
The taste of you
In the swallow
You feel my skin
In the touch of his hands
And I guess some things never change
Like whiskey and wheatfields and rain

[Outro: Fiddle fades with gentle guitar arpeggios]
Whiskey and wheatfields and rain…
Yeah, whiskey and wheatfields and rain…
