Heartland
See the sunrise over her skinDon't change it.See the sunrise over her skinDawn changes everything, everything.And the delta sunBurns bright and violent.
Mississippi and the cotton wool heatSixty-six - a highway speaksOf deserts dryOf cool green valleysGold and silver veinsAll the shining citiesIn this heartlandIn this heartlandIn this heartland.Heaven knowsThis is a heartland.Heartland, our heartland.
See the sunrise over her skinShe feels like water in my handFreeway, like a riverCuts through this landInto the side of loveLike a burning spearAnd the poison rainLike dirty tearsThrough the ghostranch hillsDeath Valley watersIn the towers of steelBelief goes on and onIn this heartlandIn this heartlandIn this heartlandHeaven knowsThis is a heartland.
