Heartland lyrics

One day a mother
Come to a prison
To see an 'erring
But precious son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not matter
What he had done

She did not bring to him
(Bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(Pardon free)
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Him to see)
It was a halo
(Halo bright)
Sent down from heaven
(Heaven's light)
The sweetest gift

When I say I want you
When I say I need you
Why don't you believe me?
When I say I miss you
When I'm not there with you
Why don't you believe me?
True love is so hard to find
Why are you running away from mine?

When I say just call me
Anytime you want me
Why don't you believe me?
When I say I'll be there
Now until forever
Why don't you believe me?
True love is so hard to find

If you hear her cry at night
Better turn on your light
Maybe your baby's got the blues
When she says there's nothing wrong
She just wants to be alone
You can bet your baby's got the blues

(Chorus)

Women like men to make the first move
And touch her like he used to
When there's achin' in her heart
Only tenderness can find
Women like men to make them feel alive

Out on the plains down near Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin'
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
He trucked 'em on down that old fairway

Here's a little girl playin' dress up
Somewhere under all that lace
Standin' in her mama's high heeled shoes
With a lipstick covered face
And here's a little boy on a pony
He's a cowboy all the way
He used to pull my hair and make me mad
At the Saturday matinee
Who would've thought that I'd lose my heart
To the same little boy someday

(Chorus)

Lookin' through my old pictures

I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to come too
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
The trains leavin' just after dark
There's always room for a lovin' heart
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too
I know my destination
It's all waiting for you
I got no hesitation
That's where I want to be
And by the time that the sun comes up
I'll be drinkin' from a lovin' cup

(Chorus)

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby, it's just you I'm thinking of

Well, you know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
Well, at least please telephone
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
