The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out
from the great white north there's a big black cloud
run for shelter if you can
there's a storm in the heartland
We made it through the flood of '93
but this is gonna be the death of me
i can't hide the tears of a desperate man
there's a storm in the heartland
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
and i can see my world is comin' to an end
like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
there's a storm in the heartland
there's a storm in the heartland
The love she gave was like a breath of spring
sweet and pure as a mountain stream
i couldn't see the danger close at hand
there's a storm in the heartland
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
and i can see my world is comin' to an end
like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
there's a storm in the heartland
there's a storm in the heartland
There's a storm in the heartland
