Born Webb Michael Pierce in West Monroe, Louisiana, he became a star performer on the Louisiana Hayride and one of country music's most popular honky tonk songsters. He was a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. His biggest hit, 1953's "There Stands the Glass" is regarded as one of country's all-time classic "drinking songs". Other hits included "Backstreet Affair", "Why, Baby, Why", “Oh, So Many Years", and “Finally”, the latter two being duets with Kitty Wells. In addition to his music, Pierce was known for his lavish Nashville mansion, which featured a guitar-shaped swimming pool, among other truly bizzare and amazing things.

I Owe It To My Heart (1959) Lyrics

Webb Pierce

I wonder if you'll be the tie to make me wanna cry each night
I'll never know unless we make a start
Why should I be afraid to try you'll either make me laugh or cry
I've got to know I owe it to my herart
Will you walk in my heart today then tomorrow run away
And in our love without a chance to start
If I should win or I should lose it's up to you for I can't choose
I've got to know I owe it to my herart
[ fiddle - steel ]
I owe it to my heart to find the happiness that can't be mine
And you're the best way I know how to start
Will your kisses last like gold or all at once will they grow cold
I've got to know I owe it to my herart
Will you walk in my heart today...
