U2 - Heartland Lyrics

Mississippi and the cotton-wool heat
Sixty-six - a highway speaks
Of deserts dry, of cool green valleys
Gold and silver mines - of the shining cities

In this heartland
In this heartland's soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland

See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love like a burning spear
And the poison rain brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost ranch hills, Death Valley waters
In the towers of steel, belief goes on and on

In this heartland
In this heartland's soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
