Heartland
Went for a drive through the great heartland
Where hell and high water walk hand in hand
Down by the levee I met an old man
He just stood there, with his head in his hand
Meanwhile up on Capitol Hill
Politicians are waging war still
But it's flooding from Des Moines down to St. Louisville
They just stand there, with their heads in their hands
Waiting for amazing grace
Waiting for a break in the rains
Might as well wait for ships from outer space
It's never going to come
Got my whole life in boxes don't know what to do
I'm just getting drunk and thinking about you
Play my guitar because it's something to do
I'm just standing here I've got nothing to do
Got a fast car but no-where to go
Maybe the Gulf of Mexico
Maybe California I just don't know
I'm just standing here I've got no-where to go
I'm waiting for amazing grace
Waiting for a break in the rains
Might as well wait for ships from outer space
It's never going to come
I got a song can't get it off of my chest
I get to singing when I'm feeling depressed
I know a few words I just make up the rest
I'm just standing here, but I'm doing my best
Road's under water but I gotta get through
I hope this thing floats 'cause the bridge is out too
Skittily-bop-be-bop-a-didily-bop-boo
I'm just screaming here am I coming through?
I'm waiting for amazing grace
Waiting for a break in the rains
Might as well wait for ships from outer space
Don't think it's ever going
Ever going
