Hearts In The Right Place

(album: Michael Martin Murphey - 1982)

In the high school rock and roll band, I was just a backup singer
I played out-of-step clarinet in the marching band
But you cheered me on but I was just a second stringer
My heart's in the right place in your hand
Now the jobs I wanted to take always seemed to be taken
And things just haven't worked out the way we planned
But through it all your faith was never shaken
My heart was in the right place in your hand

Hearts in the right place
Got a better future to face
With hearts in the right place
Life is in your hand
Hearts in the right place
Got a better future to face
With hearts in the right place
Life is in your hand

Now the baby in our arms may be just a beginner
He may not grow up to be the biggest man in the land
But in our eyes he'll always be a winner
His heart's in the right place in our hands
Is your heart in the right place?
Is your heart in the right place?
Yes, my heart's in the right place in your hand

Hearts in the right place
Got a better future to face
With hearts in the right place
Life is in your hand
Hearts in the right place
Got a better future to face
With hearts in the right place
Life is in your hand

It's in your hand
In your hand
Yeah, in your hand
In your hand
