Hearts On The Run

On a highway bound for nowhere

Past the burtn out dams and the river beds

The bull ants march

As the sun bleached bones get whiter

He can see the grass through the railroad tracks

Well that train went to city

And it ain't coming back

He spits from the window, it steams as it hits

the ground

Over sunburnt plains and lime stone ranges

One man calls to the sun

Hearts on the run

With burnt skin, green shirt, grey hands,

Red dirt, blue eyes pierce through the haze

"Black snake" road leads the way

Over my land

A black man bites back on a golden dawn

Across red earth

Where a white brother bastard waiting

Looking for rain

Where one man stands with a gun

In his hands

And beside him is his wife

The sifting soil their life is just

blown away

Where dreaming starts from birth

From the waves of war on the shore

Into the inside heart of blood red earth

Where people live to laugh, to cry

And their dreams are shared

under southern starlight

Where love

Is just, hl?ng that woman in your arms

In the land of the sun

The "mining man" drowned in a

boom toen grave

And a small town kneels just praying to be saved

The city folk say it's tight

But somewhere someone died

And you tell me you don't care

And you tell me that it ain't your worry

And you tell me that life goes on

You tell me

You tell me

Repeat chorus
