In The Heartland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's ten thirty-five in the heartland
Make your move or you never will
'Cause the boys are out on Mayfield
Everybody dressed to kill
And some of them have their reasons
Some of them just have time
Some think about last season
Some think about a life of crime...
And they say hey baby
We're gonna have a time tonight
Hey darling, would you like a ride
And the girl says maybe
I got a little time to kill
And baby I feel like trying
Feel just like flying...
But nobody writes the names down
It's just something that they gotta go through
Yeah nothing ever seems to work out the way they planned
And some of them think about leaving
Not many of them really do
They give it one more try tonight
In the heartland...
On 105th at midnight
The brothers choose up sides
And the talk is full of ladies
And long clean rides
While out on the Westside sparks are flying
Ooh, when the rich boys come around
And the heirs to the throne can't leave it alone
Even though they're glory bound...
And they say hey baby
We're gonna have a time tonight
Hey darling, would you like a ride
And the girl says maybe
I got a little time to kill
And baby I feel like trying
Feel just like flying...
But nobody writes the names down
It's just something that they gotta go through
Yeah nothing ever seems to work out the way they planned
And some of them think about leaving
Not many of them really do
They give it one more try tonight
In the heartland...in the heartland
And nobody writes the names down
It's just something that they gotta go through
Yeah nothing ever seems to work out the way they planned
And some of them think about leaving
Not many of them really do
They give it one more try tonight
In the heartland...in the heartland
oh, oh, oh ... in the heartland
In the heartland, oh yeah, yeah
In the heartland
