Heartland

Open all of your windows, can't you hear the boys are calling

Step outside for the night, y'know it's summertime, they'll all be there

And they're playing memories on the radio

Got your back pretty one, i know that you've got mine

Oh my love, there is trouble in the heartland

You and me, as we walk the square of possibility

Caught up in a love that could not be

I remember she used to refer to you as sweet, sweet prince

Though she's always known that you're nothing but a working man's son

Your ambition was always to high for one of us

Surely you would go on, oh baby, to do what we can't dream

Oh my love, there is trouble in the heartland

One last dance, save your worries for another dainy day

You wouldn't want it any other way

But darling it's time to say our goodbyes to summer romance

By the fall, all will be gone and then we'll walk our separate ways

We'll let this night be our last big mistake

From the heroes of yesteryear

The only one, still left standing

Tuned in to life's radio

A blue song from long ago

Oh my love, there is trouble in the heartland

You and me, as we walk the square of possibility

Caught up in a love that could not be

But darling can't you see?

We're still soldiers of the heartland,

Even now i still see you like i did when i could dream

Of a place where we'd be known as king & queen
