Heartland Lyrics

It's a been a few miles since my face got to see the sun
Walls closing in on me like a loaded gun
Dreaming of a place where I can let go of time
Somewhere I can rest my mind

Yeah, I've been dreaming of the wild, wild plains
Walking where the pine trees dance
Where the river runs deep and the birds all sing in the great expanse
Howling at the moonlight, sleeping underneath the stars
Wondering why I let myself ever get this far from the heartland
Yeah, from the heartland

I wanna watch the going down and the rising up
Stretching my arms out, laughing with the ones I love
Hoping for a slow down, trying to beat the middle class rush
Somehow we never get enough

I've been dreaming of the wild, wild plains
Walking where the pine trees dance
Where the river runs deep and the birds all sing in the great expanse
Howling at the moonlight, sleeping underneath the stars
Wondering why I let myself ever get this far from the heartland
Yeah, from the heartland

Laying in the wildflowers
Watching clouds go by
Say a little prayer for the problems I left behind

I've been dreaming of the wild, wild plains
Walking where the pine trees dance
Where the river runs deep and the birds all sing in the great expanse
Howling at the moonlight, sleeping underneath the stars
Wondering why I let myself ever get this far from the heartland
Oh, from the heartland
Oh, from the heartland
Ooh, from the heartland
