    Poem Commentary

    My idea of lyrics for a Country song. Now all I need is some music...

    The Conveyor Belt of Love

     I used to be a young man, as happy as can be

    I had me a real fine gal, prettiest girl in Tennessee

    But my sweetheart hamstrung me, I swear to God above

    She broke my heart and put it on the Conveyor Belt of Love

     

    Chorus:

    Conveyor Belt of Love, Conveyor Belt of Love

    She stomped my heart and put it on the Conveyor Belt of Love

     

    I thought I made her happy, I thought I did it well

    I worked all day from dawn to dusk, for my sweet southern bell

    I would’ve done most anything for my little turtledove

    But she broke my heart and put it on the Conveyor Belt of Love

     

    Chorus:

    Conveyor Belt of Love, Conveyor Belt of Love

    She backed over my heart and put it on the Conveyor Belt of Love

     

    Well my friends I’m glad to say my story don’t end here

    ‘Cause after my heart was emptied liked a can of old, stale beer

    The Conveyor Belt of Love it took my heart out for a spin

    Then dropped it at the end of the line in the Recycle Bin

     

    So now that’s all I have to say, I hope you’ve listened well

    Don’t be fooled by the pretty smile of your little southern bell

    She can be nasty as a rattlesnake, when it comes push to shove

    She’ll rip out your heart and put it on…the Conveyor Belt of Love

     

    Chorus:

    Conveyor Belt of Love, Conveyor Belt of Love

    She took a pitchfork and she stuck my heart….

    on the Conveyor Belt of Love

    Really would like to hear the tune you put to this antman! Totally hilarious! Reminded me so much of the folk and appalachian songs i've heard. You've made a classic. Excellent work! Thanks!
