Lyrics

Billy had his eyes on you since grade school
You always were the pretty girl next door
And it?s funny how life turns
The old flame always burns
When you left home to be a big old star
Billy bought you your very first guitar

He said:
Your heart is free
Open up so everyone can see
Just try and save a little bit for me

Billy came to visit you in Nashville
He drove all night in his beat up Malibu
It was 1998
Your records were selling great
He asked you for just an minute of your time
To see you face to face, is that a crime?

And he said:
Your heart is free
Open up so everyone can see
Just try and save a little bit for me

You?ve been down, lord
You?ve been up again
He?ll stick with you ?till the bitter end

Billy bought a house in Nacogdoches
A big old yard, a brand new SUV
But it don?t mean a thing
If you don?t wear his ring
He might just need a little sympathy
Just try and let the boy down easily

When he says:
Your heart is free
Open up so everyone can see
Just try and save a little bit for me.

?Cause he?ll say:
Your heart is free
Flowing like a river to the sea
Just try and save a little bit for me
Try and save a little bit for me.
