Origin of Jenkins Stage Name--------- Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins would always remain his legal name, however). Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".[citation needed]
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins. The flip side of the 45 RPM record was "The Purple, Purple People Eater, Eater." (The more well known version of Purple People Eater, however, now having sold over 100,000,000 copies, was recorded by Sheb Wooley.)
The Hurt in My Heart
Conway Twitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Handed me, down by Travis Shoes
Yes, our love was just a lie
Don't want you to see me cry
But those are hurts, the hurt in my heart.
Cause, you always loved me so
Guess a fool's the last to know
So the pain, I try to hide
But oh the hurt, the hurt in my heart.
Well all, alone with these lies too
Now that I, I have known the feeling of loving you
So I find, try to find a way
To bring you back to me some day.
When I dream of your embrace
There is a smile upon my face
But oh, the hurt, the hurt in my heart.
Oh, oh, this hurt, yes, this hurt in my heart

Line by Line Meaning
I just got the goodbye news
I have just received news of our breakup
Handed me, down by Travis Shoes
You gave me the news in a public place
Yes, our love was just a lie
Our relationship was not based on love
Don't want you to see me cry
I don't want you to witness my vulnerability
But those are hurts, the hurt in my heart.
I am in pain and my emotions are intense
Cause, you always loved me so
You always professed to love me deeply
Guess a fool's the last to know
I was foolish to not see the true state of our relationship earlier
Even fools must have their pride
I need to maintain my self-respect
So the pain, I try to hide
I am attempting to conceal my pain
But oh the hurt, the hurt in my heart.
Despite my efforts, my emotional pain is palpable
Well all, alone with these lies too
I am now alone and have to deal with the deceit as well
Now that I, I have known the feeling of loving you
After experiencing the emotions associated with loving you, this situation is even more difficult
So I find, try to find a way
I am attempting to find a solution or a way to move forward
To bring you back to me some day.
I hope to reconcile with you in the future
When I dream of your embrace
Even in my dreams I long for your touch
There is a smile upon my face
I am happy to simply imagine being with you
But oh, the hurt, the hurt in my heart.
Despite moments of happiness, the pain caused by our breakup remains
Oh, oh, this hurt, yes, this hurt in my heart
The intensity of my emotional pain is overwhelming
