[Chorus]
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
Across the waves of steel
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
Across the rusted fields
[VERSE 1]
Out beyond the mills
And the radioactive fills

We got right, we got right
And on our walk
I just couldn't talk
It all began to seem
A crazy dream, a crazy thing
[Chorus]
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
Across the waves of steel
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
Across the rusted fields
[VERSE 2]
Points upon a map
And thoughts that turn to scrap
The things that rust away
What to say, what to say
And you still claim
That you are gonna name
Our new southern man
If you can, if you can
[BRIDGE]

And I have been trying
But I can't offer any more

[Chorus]
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
I know the way you feel
Head out, I'm heading out
I'll see you there
Across the rusted fields
Across the rusted fields
Across the rusted fields
