Matt Jordan - Heart of the Heartland Lyrics

We're dodging cracks in the sidewalk at midnight
Under the spell of the moon and your blue eyes
Shadows dancing to the buzz of a streetlight
And it feels like

We're the only souls awake in this whole town
Can't keep waiting on the clock on the courthouse
If we're looking for a moment to get out
It's right now

That horizon doesn't look too far
Let's pull the trigger, take a shot in the dark

Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland
Give these tires
Every mile of highway that we can
Sights set on the rising sun
Like a bullet screaming out of a gun
Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland

We'll follow headlights to find heaven's stairwell
Hanging stars on every town in the rustbelt
Who says we've got to play the hand that we've been dealt
That we've been dealt

Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland
Give these tires
Every mile of highway that we can
Sights set on the rising sun
Like a bullet screaming out of a gun
Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland

We'll trade these dead ends and highline poles
For open highways over fields of gold
Hand on the wheel holding on to hope
Baby let's go

Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland
Give these tires
Every mile of highway that we can
Sights set on the rising sun
Like a bullet screaming out of a gun
Let's catch fire
Straight through the heart of the heartland
