Onbevreesd van hart

Nu is de muzikale afsluitrubriek ruim twee jaar oud en dan zie ik dat er nog niets van Steve Earle is langsgekomen! Ongelooflijk, en ja, ik kan het mijzelf ook kwalijk nemen.
Powercountry van een echte rock’n’roller met het politieke hart op de juiste plaats.

Don’t you worry bout what you’ve been told
‘Cause honey I ain’t even close to cold
It’s kinda soon to fall in love again
But sometimes the best that you can do is just jump back in

I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It’s been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more

Folks will tell you that I’m just no good
But I wouldn’t hurt you honey if I could
I can’t promise this will work out right
But it would kill me darlin’ if we didn’t even try

I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It’s been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more

I admit I fall in love a lot
But I nearly always give it my best shot
I know you must think I’m the reckless kind
But I want a lady with a fearless heart just like mine

I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It’s been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more

Fearless heart, 1987
