Heartland

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
Singin' his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(chorus)

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie touch
He was raised on local ways
He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his cow cow booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(repeat chorus)

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
Why are you running away from mine?

So, darlin', don't be afraid
I'll never leave you alone
I don't care how long it takes
I'm willing to wait
'til you make my heart your home

When you say i want you
When i say i need you
Why don't you believe me?
Believe me
Why don't you believe me?
Belive me
Why don't you believe me?

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
Faded photographs
Some of them bring me close to tears
Others make me laugh
Old memories seem to come alive
And open up the past again
And let me dream inside

Here's brother with his first automobile
Thought he'd washed the paint away
He took a job that took him west
He's doing very well
We don't see much of brother these days
And this is my favorite of my papa
He's dressed up in his sunday suit
A wide brimmed hat, a watch on a chain
Well, i'm gonna tell you the truth
It's a picture of a downright handsome man
Caught in the prime of his youth

(repeat chorus)

They open up the past again and let me dream inside

Dance with me, darlin', til' dawn
I wanna sway in your arms
'til the stars fade away
Fade away

Moving together as one
'til the first gentle rays of the sun
Light up the day
Light the day

(chorus)

And while the music still plays
Please let me hear you keep saying,
"over and over i'm falling,
Falling in love with you!"
Say there's no way i could lose you
Hold me tight
I'm falling in love tonight

Touch me and tell me it's true
That i'm not asleep and that you
Are not just a dream
Just a dream

Here with your heart pressed to mine
We flow like the river that winds
Its way to the sea
To the sea

(chorus)

Say there's no way i could lose you
Hold me tight
I'm falling in love tonight
Hold me tight
I'm falling in love tonight

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
And keep her apron strings untied
Yes women like men
To love them through the blues sometime

When her days all run the same
And she says she thinks she needs a change
Maybe your baby's got the blues
If she says she's just a wife
And so far from the glamorous life
You can bet your baby's got the blues

(repeat chorus)

Yes, women like men to love them through the blues sometimes
