Melt This Heart of Mine

I've got a sixty-four Chevrolet
With no warmth of which to speak
The damn thing, well it's still under loan

I've got house that looks real nice
But it's lacking central heat
But that ain't what chilled me to the bone

Nine fifths of zero still is nil
Some nights it seems the cold could kill
You've got a fire and it's been on my mind
So please, just melt this heart of mine

I've been telling the tallest tales
Of how life it done me wrong
I've been setting all of my spite to song

But I've lately come around
And said my silent thanks
For having this old heart that still can break

Nine fifths of zero still is nil
Some nights it seems the cold could kill
You've got a fire and it's been on my mind
So please, just melt this heart of mine
