THE HEARTLAND HAS SO MUCH SOUL
WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

IF YOU SEE
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
THAT'S WHERE I WILL BE
THE HEARTLAND
HAS SO MUCH SOUL
BACK ROADS FILLED WITH GOLD
SILENCE SPEAKING VOLUMES
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HEAR
SOMETHING THAT
DRAWS YOU NEAR
WHAT YOU SEE
MIGHT NOT BE
THE SAME AS ME
A DIFFERENT REALITY
NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE
MAKING SOME TIME
FORWARD TO MY DESTINATION
BACKWARDS STRAIGHT ON THROUGH
PLACES STUCK IN TIME
I CAN REMEMBER
WHEN ONE WAS MINE
ALWAYS JUST MORE OF THE SAME
THE WHISTLE OF OF SOME MIDNIGHT TRAIN
OUT ON THE LINE
REACHING BACK IN TIME
I NEVER REALIZED
THOSE MORNINGS
IN THE COUNTRY SUN
WONDERING WHAT TO DO
WITH EACH ONE
ALL THE TREASURES
I COULD FIND
WERE RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
WEREN'T SO LITTLE AT ALL
SWEPT ASIDE FORGOTTEN
NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THOSE DAYS
WERE MADE OF GOLD
THE WIND BLEW STRONG
THE WIND BLEW COLD
THE MOON, THE STARS
CALLED ME OUT BY NAME
ROOTED IN THE EARTH TO WATCH THEM
CLAIM THEIR PLACE IN THE SKY
THAT'S WHERE I GOT THIS SPARKLE
IN MY EYES
MORNINGS IN THE COUNTRY SUN
THE HEARTLAND
HAS SO MUCH SOUL
BACK ROADS FILLED WITH GOLD
MY HEART SHOULD KNOW
