See
the sun rise over her skin
Don't change it
See the sunrise on her skin
Dawn changes everything
And
the delta sun burns bright and violent
Mississippi
and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six the highway speaks
Of deserts dry, of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins - shining cities
In
this heartland
She
feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love like a burning spear
And the poison rain brings a flood of fear
Throught the ghostranch hills, Death Valley waters
In the towers of steel belief goes on and on
In
this heartland
In this heartland
In this heartland
Heaven knows thi is a heartland
