Home In The Heartland

Sometimes with life, you salvage every kiss goodnight
And climb to every mountain high, but prairies are too flat
Don’t sell it out, and curse the hand that waivers growth
I won’t trade this for the world, cause this is just my world
Don’t you, don’t you try to hold on, to the old town
I knew, I knew you would
We’ve been through the bad times, we’ve lasted the whole night
I knew, I knew we could
A million lights from the plane above
A million stories that bring push to shove
And why do we keep looking forward
When who we are is starring back?
Feel the pain that you try to shake
Snowstorms, people, that I take
And I don’t know and I don’t know
And I won’t let go, I won’t let you
(Yes, you really want it) This is time
(Yes .you really get it) Through the hourglass
(Do you really want it?) There’s more to life
(Yes, you really want it) Then a love song
And I’m a bold man, (Yes, you really want it)
And I’m a bold man (Does he really get it?)
Cause this is home (Does he really want it?)
In the heartland
Last time in check, the sunrise tried to warm the crest
Of every heart that laid to rest and concedes tonight
I’ll turn around and test the perfect from the best
And drop my pencil from the test, this is knocking off
Don’t you, don’t you try to hold on, to the old town
I knew, I knew you would
We’ve been through the bad times, we’ve lasted the whole night
I knew, I knew we could
A million lights from the plane above
A million stories that bring push to shove
And why do we keep looking forward
When who we are is starring back?
Feel the pain that you try to shake
Snowstorms, people, that I take
And I don’t know and I don’t know
And I won’t let go, I won’t let you
(Yes, you really want it) This is time
(Yes .you really get it) Through the hourglass
(Do you really want it?) There’s more to life
(Yes, you really want it) Then a love song
And I’m a bold man, (Yes, you really want it)
And I’m a bold man (Does he really get it?)
Cause this is home (Does he really want it?)
In the heartland
Hold your own, hold your own, hold your own, hold your own
This won’t last through your lasting climate dreams
When the world won’t turn to meet you
You face it, you fight, you know you’re welcome
This is a final fare
It’s time to clear the air
And why do we keep looking forward
When who we are is starring back?
Feel the pain that you try to shake
Snowstorms, people, that I take
And I don’t know and I don’t know
And I won’t let go, I won’t let you
(Yes, you really want it) And this is time
(Yes .you really get it) Through the hourglass
(Do you really want it?) There’s more to life
(Yes, you really want it) Then a love song
And I’m a bold man, (Yes, you really want it)
And I’m a bold man (Does he really get it?)
Cause this is home (Does he really want it?)
In the heartland
