Home In the Heartland

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes with life You salvage every kiss goodnight And climb to every mountain high But prairies are too flat [Verse 2] Don't sell it out And curse the hand that waivers growth I won't trade this for the world 'Cause this is my world [Pre-Chorus] 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) [Chorus] 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 staring 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 [Post-Chorus] (Yes, you really want it) And this is time (Yes, you really get it) Through the hourglass (Do you really want it?) That there's more to life (Yes, you really want it) Then a love song (Yes, you really want it) And I'm a bold man (Does he really get it?) And I'm a bold man (Does he really want it?) 'Cause this is home In the heartland [Verse 3] Last time in check The sunrise tried to warm the crest Of every heart that laid to rest And concedes tonight [Verse 4] I'll turn around And test the perfect from the best And drop my pencil from the test This is knocking off [Pre-Chorus] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] (Yes, you really want it) And this is time (Yes, you really get it) Through the hourglass (Do you really want it?) That there's more to life (Yes, you really want it) Then a love song (Yes, you really want it) And I'm a bold man (Does he really get it?) And I'm a bold man (Does he really want it?) 'Cause this is home In the heartland [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] This is a final fare It's time to clear the air And why do we keep looking forward When who we are is staring 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 [Post-Chorus] (Yes, you really want it) And this is time (Yes, you really get it) Through the hourglass (Do you really want it?) That there's more to life (Yes, you really want it) Then a love song (Yes, you really want it) And I'm a bold man (Does he really get it?) And I'm a bold man (Does he really want it?) 'Cause this is home In the heartland
