The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out
From the Great White North there's a big black cloud
Run for shelter if you can
There's a storm in the heartland
We made it through the flood of '93
But this is gonna be the death of me
I can't hide the tears of a desperate man
There's a storm in the heartland
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin' to an end
Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland
The love she gave was like a breath of spring
Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
I couldn't see the danger close at hand
There's a storm in the heartland
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin' to an end
Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland

Now as she's walking out the door
Sayin' she don't want me no more
As her tires are a squealin'
Lord I get this funny feelin'
That I've been in this position before
A different time another flame
Still it's spooky how it seems the same
Deja blue
Deja blue
Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue
Now it started in the second grade
With little blondie what's her name
I toted all her books
And gave her long and gooshy looks
And all she wanted was my brother Jay
That first time nearly done me in
But I've been there a hundred times since then
Deja blue
Deja blue
Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue
Deja blue
Deja blue
Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain
That this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is somethin' I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again
Tell me will it ever end
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue
Same ol' fool
Nothin' new
Deja blue

Take me to redneck heaven
When I'm dead and gone
Where my southern roots are buried
Bandstand still live on
With some smokey pool room standing
With Jesus on the wall
Take me to redneck heaven
When the good Lord comes to call (comes to call,comes to call)
Mother Mary riding proud on the dashboard of my truck
To remind me to count my blessings and to pray for just a little luck
Brother Levi waits for me at the local 7/11
But just in case I don't make it there
Send me to redneck heaven
Take me to redneck heaven
When I'm dead and gone
Where my southern roots are buried
Bandstand still live on
With some smokey pool room standing
With Jesus on the wall
Take me to redneck heaven
When the good Lord comes to call (comes to call,comes to call)
There I saw on the those sawdust street of gold
And I saw Conway Twitty and there was Keith Willy
Before I could Hank Williams I turned around and I was face to face
With the king of Rock and Roll
You can have your streets of gold
Sawdust will do just fine
And about those singing angels
Just give me Patsy Cline
If I could only meet the king
I'll felt I've rolled a 7
Give me swingin' doors instead of pearly gates
Take me to redneck heaven
Take me to redneck heaven
When I'm dead and gone
Where my southern roots are buried
Bandstand still live on
With some smokey pool room standing
With Jesus on the wall
Take me to redneck heaven
When the good Lord comes to call (comes to call,comes to call)
Take me to redneck heaven
Hope I see you all

Mama used to tell me tales
'Bout a part of town
Where people cry the blues
Most everyday
She said don't go down there boy.
You know, love will cut you down
And you ain't yet a man, hear what I say
She said listen to me, son, it's so
Let me tell ya, I've been down there
And I know
That on love street they've got signs
That say watch for falling victims
Dreams get run down in the night
Lord and yours might be the next one
Down where lies'll cut you deep
And goodbyes are loaded guns
You can take one through the heart
Another Casualty Of Love
But still I had to find out
Just how a love would feel
I got tangled in the arms
Of one gone bad
Now I sit and wait and wonder
As I cry myself to sleep
Why I couldn't heed what my mama said
New her every word rings clear and true
Now I've come to realize what love can do
And why love street still got signs....

So I'll be leavin' this house without you
That's the last thing I thought I'd ever do
How could we come so far and be so close
And have such a distant point of view
I won't stand here and cry over differences
I won't say things I'll regret
I'll be on my way with this broken heart
But the memories I'll caress
Darlin', would you honor this last request
Let's take one last drive just one last time
And go up on ol' lovers hill
Let's take one last look at those city lights
Like the first time we came up here and learned how to feel
Let's take one last look at those stars that shine
I remember how it was still
Then let me take one long lasting look at your face
Give me one last kiss, one last thrill
Then I'd be happy and I'd take you home
You wouldn't even have to ask me in
By then I'll be like a stranger baby
But I'll walk you to the door like a gentleman
And I'd drive away and I won't be back
It doesn't matter which way I go
I'll always be on a one-way street
Always down a dead-end road
I will always love you and that's all I know
So ...
Let's take one last drive just one last time
And go up on ol' lovers hill
Let's take one last look at those city lights
Like the first time we came up here and learned how to feel
Let's take one last look at those stars that shine
I remember how it was still
Then let me take one long lasting look at your face
Give me one last kiss, one last thrill
Just let me take one long lasting look at your face
Give me one last kiss, one last thrill

My bags are packed this evening
You know I'll soon be leavin'
It's gonna be another long night
Mmmmm a long, long night
I know that we just said hello
Now it's time for me to go
You wouldn't want me to miss my flight
Not out of mind but out of sight
I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
How in the hell can we let love grow
When the only thing we ever know is
I'll call you or you call me
Love is blind so I can't see
The only thing I know is baby
I ain't even left
And it already don't feel right
I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
All I know is I can't control this missin' you inside
Loneliness like I've never known
'Til you walked into my life
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
All I know is I can't control this missin' you inside
Loneliness like I've never known
'Til you walked into my life
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right

One candle burns brightly
It flickers and it almost dies like me
Alone against the wind
But this moment has magic
It's keeping that flame alive
As we hold on to the night
There'll be another day we'll have another chance
But not like this,no nothing can compare
To the way I feel right now
Do you feel the same way I do,tell me
How strong,how strong do you want it to be
how do,how do you want to hear it from me
How long,how long and baby tell me how deep
How much love do you want from me
Somebody must have scared you
Left you wounded and afraid to love again
You are just like me
'Cause nobody ever held me
So close do desperately and I
I never held anybody like you
There'll be another day,we'll have another chance
But not like this,no nothing can compare
To the way I feel right now
Do you feel the same way I do,like you
There'll be another day,well have another chance
But not like this,no nothing can compare
To the way I feel right now
Do you feel the same way I do,tell me
How strong,how strong do you want it to be
How do,how do you want to hear it from me
How long,how long and baby tell me how deep
How much love do you want from me
One tender moment is all I need
This world's gone crazy baby shelter me
You've gotta shelter me
There'll be another day,we'll have another chance
But not like this,no nothing can compare
To the way I feel right now
Do you feel the same way I do,tell me
How strong,how strong do you want it to be
How do,how do you want to hear it from me
How long,how long and baby tell me how deep
How much love do you want from me
How strong,how strong do you want it to be
How do,how do you want to hear it from me
How long,how long and baby tell me how deep
How much love do you want from me
How much,how much
How much love do you want from me

Mile marker ninety two and forty goin' west
I'd been drivin' without rest the whole night through
I saw this little cardboard sign about to fade away
Make a tear roll down my face with just one line
Patsy come home
It said Patsy come home
I bet a mother's watchin' out a window
Or a lovers waiting by the phone
No matter who's wrong
No matter what you're runnin' from
Somebody's tryin' to tell you they love you
Patsy come home
By Little Rock the rain was turnin' into snow
By now I'd prayed she's gone back home again
I won't forget foe some time and hopeful kind of love
Or the desperation of that cardboard sign
Patsy come home
It said Patsy come home
I bet a mother's watchin' out a window
Or a lovers waiting by the phone
No matter who's wrong
No matter what you're runnin' from
Somebody's tryin' to tell you they love you
Patsy come home
Somebody's tryin' to tell you they love you
Patsy come home

Girl I've got somethin' just a waitin' for you
That's gonna make you smile and never leave you blue
I've carried it around waiting for the right time
To give it to you and make you mine
Just give it a chance and you're gonna want it
'Cause I've got a heart with your name on it
It beats strong and it beats true
And you'll love the love that it's gonna give you
You might as well take, you already own it
I've got a heart with your name on it
I've got a heart with your name on it
I could feel the heat when I look in your eyes
You were carving your name with a burning fire
Now I'm a brand new man, branded with the thought of you
Holding me tight the whole night through
All you've gotta do is say that you want it
'Cause I've got a heart with your name on it
It beats strong, it beats true
And you'll love the love that it's gonna give you
You might as well take it you already own it
I've got a heart with your name on it
Well....
It beats strong and it beats true
And you'll love the love that it's gonna give you
You might as well take it, you already own it
I've got a heart with your name on it
I've got a heart with your name on it
I've got a heart with your name on it

We saw the moon in Colorado
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold in El Dorado
It's so good makin' love you and me
These arms they will never hold another
These eyes they are blind to any other
These lips no other girl will ever kiss
This heart it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walkin' through
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma,ooh yeah
We won the Oscar in Hollywood
We climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby makin' love never felt so good
These arms they will never hold another
These lips no other girl will ever kiss
This heart it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walkin' through
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Well there ain't no girl in the whole wide world
Could take away my hear
And there ain't no man who could steal your hand
And tear us apart
But there is one God in heaven above
Who gave me love strong enough
To call my own
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Only God could tell me not to
Only God could stop me lovin' you
Only God could tell me not to
. . .

Reckless and wild in the clutch
I didn't care if it was tackle or touch
I never ever asked you for much
Yet you're drivin' me crazy and things of such
Roll me over ooh,roll me over,ooh
You straighten me up just enough to roll me over
You don't ask I don't do
I can't believe what you put me through
Yet you say I'v embarrassed you
But son you ain't walked a mile in my shoes
Roll me over ooh,roll me over ooh
You straighten me up just enough to roll me over
Monkey see,monkey do
Someday the tide will turn on you
Roll me over ooh,roll me over,ooh
You straighten me up just enough to roll me over
Roll me over ooh,roll me over,ooh
Roll me over ooh,roll me over,ooh
You straighten me up just enough to roll me over

Ain't it sad Johnny had another accident
Down some steps and landed on a lit cigarette
Must have made daddy madder than he thought he had
So his little mind becomes a bomb that ain't exploded yet
Said he talks to angels in these moments of pain
One day they'll point their pearly wings and say
That enough is enough
Enough tears have been shed
Enough hurt has been hidden
Enough blood has been bled
I said enough is enough
Let it rain love and trust
Til the steel fist of rage
Has fallen into rust
Enough is enough
In the board room of a squirrely third world government
Hammerin' tunes there on the bones of the innocent
Greedy little minds sit tradin' guns and bad medicine
Could it be it's time for Brother Abel to raise some cain
If we hold our dreams pressed in the palm of our hands
There'll come a day when we all will stand
And say
That enough is enough
Enough tears have been shed
Enough hurt has been hidden
Enough blood has been bled
I said enough is enough
Let it rain love and trust
Til the steel fist of rage
Has fallen into rust
Enough is enough
You know
That enough is enough
Enough tears have been shed
Enough hurt has been hidden
Enough blood has been bled
I said enough is enough
Let it rain love and trust
Til the steel fist of rage
Has fallen into rust
Enough is enough
I said
That enough is enough
Enough tears have been shed
Enough hurt has been hidden
Enough blood has been bled
I said enough is enough
Let it rain love and trust
Til the steel fist of rage
Has fallen into rust
Enough is enough
You know enough is enough
I said enough is enough
You know enough is enough
Enough is enough

Back when I was young
When I was just a kid
The foolish things we done
The secrets that we hid
Out on our playground
Where I first touched your lips
Our first taste of love
Upon our fingertips
Now I go back in time
To a place they call the past
Where dreams are make believe
And love can really last
Sometimes it's all so real
And it's always way too fast
This crazy world we live in
The past
Now I go back in time
To a place they call the past
Where dreams are make believe
And love can really last
Sometimes it's all so real
And it's always way too fast
This crazy world we live in
The past.

It was a wildcat of a hot night
The stars were rippin' holes in the sky
The crickets in the thickest click quicker every minute
Poppin' like a fourth of July
On a tall point pony in a bolt of white light
Rode a fire eyed medicine man
He said,"My name is Jerome and you're standin' in my home"
Haunting was a song that he sang
He said,"Your bad dreams spinnin' in my mama's head
You strapped the foul breathed wolf to her back
You ride a steel horse racin' toward a rainbow end
While her seas and her rivers run black"
He said,"Look what you done to her native son
Buddy look what you did to her skies
You trap her power and her glory in your company funds
But your prophets only make me cry"
He said,"The moon had to jump to get over
I was cheated and beat but I never denied
The sun's my daddy and the earth is my mama
Wearin' ghosts you made my tribe and my bride
Their prayers filled my ears as they fell
Then you drag me through the gutter 'til it hurts like hell
But if you think I look bad
Baby,better check out yourself"
What you feel!
He said,"Boy you can't you see that you're part of the planet
No less or more then the sea or the granite
She tries to give you all her love
Still you just want to ride her
What will you give for her you last cup of water
What kind of price will you put on your brother
What are the secrets of your soul she's keeping
Deep down inside her"
Unless you really want to know,don't ask Geronimo
Unless you really want to know,don't ask Geronimo
