Heartland Lyrics

Well the rain falls from a cloudless sky

And I, forgot what it was she said

And we watered those trees

Waged war in muddy creeks

All the sins a child seeks

Only you would know these empty parts

And only blood could hear what beats in this heart

And I waited outside

I waited for the dark

It's just you and me now

And the screams start

In the heartland, the heartland

With my radio flyer

In the dirt we used to play

In the heartland, the heartland

With my radio flyer

On holy ground we'd stay awake

I remember the days we used to play

In those fields wild and free

Faces painted, toy boys drawn to our eyes

Hunting crawdads in that creek

Yellow hair, before the fall

The dreams of freedom

When we were small

If I run far enough

Could I reclaim it all?

The storm rises, and the water falls

In the heartland, the heartland

With my radio flyer

In the dirt we used to play

In the heartland, the heartland

With my radio flyer

On holy ground we'd stay awake

In our heartland, our heartland

With my radio flyer

On the ground we'd stay awake

In the heartland, the heartland

With my radio flyer

Could we stay awake?

Stay awake for one more day?
