Straight To The Heart Of Love (live)
written by John Hiatt

We take the long way around
We get lost and we get found
I wonder why we couldn't go
Straight to the heart of love

Climbing mountains, crossing streams
Crying tears, and dreaming dreams
I guess that's the only way we know
Straight to the heart of love

CHORUS
Straight to the heart of love should be
The shortest distance from lonely
Not always the road you're thinking of
Straight to the heart of love

So take a chance, shine your light
Everything will be alright
You're gonna find a way to go
Straight to the heart of love

CHORUS

I've been thinking about you and me
And how this love was meant to be
I'm taking the next clear shot I see
Straight to the heart of love
I'm taking the next clear shot I see
Straight to the heart of love

Straight to the heart of love, straight
Straight to the heart of love, straight
Straight, straight, straight, straight

Straight to the heart of love, straight
Straight to the heart of love, straight
