My Cleveland Heart - Jackson Browne

I’m going to make a few changes right away

The way I leap and the way I fall

The way I need somebody else’s eyes to see me

The way I need anyone at all

But I expect the real changes to start

When I finally get my Cleveland Heart

They’re made to take a bashing

And never lose their passion

They never break, they don’t even beat

And they don’t ache, they just plug in and shine

Don’t make mistakes, and they don’t know defeat

Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine

I’ve been walking that broken line between

The way life is and the way it seems

I’ve been stranded on that endless straightaway

Between the truth and my wildest dreams

But I will no longer need to tell them apart

When I’ve finally got my Cleveland Heart

They just keep on hoping

And stay so big and open

They never break, they don’t even beat

And they don’t ache, they just plug in and shine

Don’t make mistakes, and they don’t know defeat

Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine
