Nick Deitrich - Straight Through the Heartland Lyrics

Back road off of highway nine
Dream buried deep inside your restless eyes
Begging for some life
You say you're hungry and bold
I say I'm scared of getting stuck and bored
So, let's get out of here
Nothing but time to spend, give it while we can
What we put in we will never get back out
We won't look back yeah we'll never settle down

We were hoping foolishly
Running wild into the mystery
Chasing big sky like it was meant to be
Straight through the heartland

Tired of holding my head up
Strange nights are breaking me down
Talk to me for a while
Red eyes and heavy words
Faint lines and darker turns
Side by side desperate for a little sleep
What we need is the love in between

We were hoping foolishly
Running wild into the mystery
Chasing big sky like it was meant to be
Straight through the heartland

We won't stop until there's nothing left to see.
We'll keep pushing hard like you were 22
I was 23

We were hoping foolishly
Running wild

We were hoping foolishly
Running wild into the mystery
Chasing big sky like it was meant to be
Straight through the heartland
