Heartland - Walter Trout

See the sun rise over her skin Don't change it See the sun rise over her skin Dawn changes everything Everything And the delta sun Burns bright and violet Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six, a highway speaks Of deserts dry Of cool green valleys Gold and silver veins Of the shining cities In this heartland In this heartland soil In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland Heartland, heartland See the sun rise over her skin She feels like water in my hand Freeway like a river cuts through this land Into the side of love Like a burning spear And the poison rain Brings a flood of fear Through the ghost-ranch hills Death valley waters In the towers of steel Belief goes on and on In this heartland In this heartland soil In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland Heartland, heaven knows this is a heartland Heartland, heartland Heartland, heaven's day here in the heartland Heart

I got a smile on my face And it's a beautiful day I smile to the world, I smile to the day And ain't nothing wrong, 'Cause I can't complain This love is so strong, From playing this game Nothing but love here, And peace and harmony Nothing but love here, And that's our destiny Well, I just need a cigarette Lord help me breathe I ain't got a lot of regrets, Still I can't sleep S what you wanna do? What else can I say? I hope it's not true, But you're so far away. There's nothing but love here, And peace and harmony. There's nothing but love here, And it's our destiny. The day will come, And maybe not for a while. I can give you my world, Or we can share in a smile. Let me tell you like it is, That's all a man can really do. Close your eyes, And these words will come true. There's nothing but love here, And peace and harmony. Nothing but love here, And it's our destiny.

Lay me down the long white line Leave the sirens far behind me Paint my name in black and gold My heart my flame my heart my road My heartland fade across the line Heartland sing the faces shining In the failing failing failing Heartland make the places mine Clearly now the past mistakes The giant steps we had to take The path that ever promise made To die in dream dissolve and fade My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland Behind the lines a face that glimmers Still looking for a face that shines In the promise in the places I'm going to make them mine My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland heartland heartland My heartland-

There ain't no need to write Don't need no final call Ain't no need to write Don't need no final call It's just an empty room Do you still see me at all? I can't help but believe We're headed for a fall Yeah I can't help but believe We're headed for a fall Sometimes I wonder Do you still see me at all? You're standing next to me Feels like you ain't even there I know I found a reason I don't believe you really care
