See the sunrise over her skin Don't change it See the sunrise over her skin Dawn changes everything
And the delta sun burns bright and violet
Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six the highway that speaks Of deserts dry Of cold grey valleys Of golden sunny heights Of bright shining cities
In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland
See the sunrise over her skin She feels like water on 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 Through the ghost-ranch 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 this is a heartland
