Home In The Heartland

[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 1]
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

[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 1]
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 2]
This is a final fare
It's time to clear the air
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
