Heartland Lyrics

You were drunk and sprawled out

On the coffee house floor

Using my guitar case as a pillow

I didn't know you then

The room was so crowded with

Bad folk singers

Rich white kids reminding us

How unjust life is

And you were making a scene

Disturbing Midwest sensibilities

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

I spent years riding shotgun

While you navigated

Screaming songs from the radio

Like they could save us

But nothing can stop the

Reckless behavior

Of two kids set free from

Small town America

The years disappeared in

Club drugs and cigarettes

There were so many nights

I thought we were dyin'

So many conversations

Turned strangers to friends

And when the sun wakes up

We'd sleep again

When the sun wakes up

We'd sleep again

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

And we would park your car

In the neighborhood

And I'd sleep in the backseat

While you were off at school

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then

I knew that I loved you then
