Well the rain falls from a cloudless sky
And I forgot what it was she said
And we watered those trees
Waged war in muddy creeks
All the sins a child seeks
Only you would know these empty parts
And only blood could hear what beats in this heart
And I waited outside
I waited for the dark
It's just you and me now
And the screams start
In the heartland, the heartland
With my radio flyer
In the dirt we used to play
In the heartland, the heartland
With my radio flyer
On holy ground, we'd stay awake
I remember the days we used to play
In those fields wild and free
Faces painted, toy bows drawn to our eyes
Hunting crawdads in that creek
Yellow hair, before the fall
The dreams of freedom
When we were small
If I run far enough
Could I reclaim it all
The storm rises, and the water falls
In the heartland, the heartland
With my radio flyer
In the dirt we used to play
In the heartland, the heartland
With my radio flyer
On holy ground, we'd stay awake
In our heartland, our heartland
With my radio flyer
On the ground, we'd stay awake
In the heartland, the heartland
With my radio flyer
Could we stay awake?
Stay awake for one more day
