A Place In Your Heart

Hold tight, winds are blowin', coldest that you ever known

Cut through the rawhide right to the marrow bone

Strap a live pig across your knees to the back, so your jaw don't freeze

It's a bitter bad lightning freeze

Who needs to ride a train

When we got the natural motion

That's gonna take us right across the line

Look at the plain, it's the flattest that you ever see

Whoa, oh, hey, look at that big sky

Look at that moonglow lightin' up the Rockies on the way to Idaho

Take out your fiddle, put your hand on the bow

Rustle up a pretty tune, put a rhythm in your toe

Hello? Is anybody there? Hello?

I can't explain

Am I letting my emotions get the better of me?

You're always on my mind

But I can't tell you that I'd willingly follow you

If I can't have you

How can I expect to have a place in your heart?

But I wouldn't be so bold

As to expect you to have feelings for me, oh no

I can't admit it to you (west to east, under the stars)

'Cause then I have to admit it to me

(It's a thousand miles to the nearest bar)

And I wouldn't want to bother you

(West to East, till we reach Valhalla)

'Cause then I won't have to admit how much (west to east)

It's bothering me (in the land of the free)

(See the Sun up ahead, see the Moon behind)

Place in your heart

(You were right on time with gonna get there come rain or shine)

You're always on my mind

(In Omaha city, soon be over the incline)

I can't tell you that I'd willingly follow you

I can't admit it to you (west to east, under the stars)

'Cause then I would have to admit it to me

(It's a thousand miles to the nearest bar)

And I wouldn't want to bother you

(West to east till we reach Valhalla)

'Cause then I won't have to admit how much

(West to East)

It's bothering me (In the land of the free)

(See the Sun up ahead, see the Moon behind)

Place in your heart

(You were right on time with gonna get there come rain or shine)

And I wouldn't be so bold

(In Omaha city, soon be over the incline)

To expect you to have feelings for me, oh no

Make the most of nature's great highway

Rest till we see night turn into day

Move so fast, too bad that you can't stay

A place in your heart

Alright lads, I gotta phone home

Hey, Ray. What's the deal?

Let's get this show on the road

Alright then

I can't explain (gonna get a train)

Am I lettin' my emotions get the better of me?

(Take us right across a mountain plain)

You're always on my mind

But I can't tell you that I'd willingly follow you

To the end of the earth

West to East, follow that star

Thousand miles to the nearest bar

Rattlin' wind, hold on tight

Wrap up warm, it'll blow you apart

Pass that whiskey, stoke up the stove

Pluck that string, wiggle that bow

Midwest show, thunder and rain

Get to the east coast, turn around, head west again

Move so fast, too bad that you can't stay

A place in your heart
