comment: This information is not all correct. The coronet player was Bill Mason, not Phil Mason. The banjo player and group leader is Al Stricker, not Striker. And the group was not formed to play on the riverboats. Their first regular venue was a bar called The Natchez Queen at Gaslight Square. They played there for several years before moving to The Golden Rod.

St. Louis Ragtimers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got myself all lost and out of frame
I just want my heart back
Broken or the same, don't throw it away
Tryna fight demons
Got myself all lost and out of frame
Baby I just want my heart back
Broken or the same, don't throw it away
'Cause I been tryna find a way to feel okay
You told me that it's over, You say I'm never sober
But I'm happy that you left 'cause all I needed was some closure
I just, I just want my heart back
Here's my number you can call that
I just want my fucking heart back
Why you yelling please don't start that
Heart back,
Broken or the same, don't throw it away
Tryna fight demons
Got myself all lost and out of frame
Baby I just want my heart back
Broken or the same, don't throw it away
Yeah I just want my heart back
'Cause I been tryna find a way to feel okay
And we both hurt each other
And we both did things that we shouldn't have done
But I actually stayed, I really tried to change
I dropped everything for a taste of your love
But baby I just want my heart back
Broken or the same, don't throw it away
Tryna fight demons
Got myself all lost and out of frame
