Heartland

I should be married by now

Two kids in a paid for house

I can hear 'em now

Askin' what I'm doin' now

I should have a little more to show

Than a suitcase smells like smoke

I should have an alibi

On where time goes when it flies

'Cause I been on the rocks

I been on the road

On the other side of every door closed

I've been on a limb

Tryin' to catch a break

Somethin's gotta give

Sometimes you gotta take

Take it down a fast lane

Right back to your last name

To remind you where you came from

You're still shinin' in the same sun

It don't matter how high

You been floatin' in your blue sky

Nothin' gets you like goodbye can

When life is out of your hands

Yeah, you gotta let your heartland

I can roll the window down

Feel the wind in my hair now

Find a station through the static

The old me while I'm at it

'Cause I been on the rocks

I been on the road

Pullin' double shifts

My needle on low

Wakin' up alone

In the bed I made

Now would be a real good time to take

Take it down a fast lane

Right back to your last name

To remind you where you came from

You're still shinin' in the same sun

It don't matter how high

You been floatin' in your blue sky

Nothin' gets you like goodbye can

When life is out of your hands

Yeah, you gotta let your heartland

Oh you gotta let your heartland, yeah

You gotta let your heartland

In the middle of nowhere

Oh, you gotta let your heartland

Sometimes you just gotta go there

Just go there

And it don't matter how high

You been floatin' in your blue sky

Nothin' gets you like goodbye can

When life is out of your hands

Yeah, you gotta let your heartland

Oh, you gotta let your heartland, yeah

Yeah

Gotta let your heartland

Yeah, you gotta let your heartland, oh
