Hearts On The Run Lyrics
On a highway bound for nowherePast the burtn out dams and the river bedsThe bull ants marchAs the sun bleached bones get whiterHe can see the grass through the railroad tracksWell that train went to cityAnd it ain't coming backHe spits from the window, it steams as it hitsthe groundOver sunburnt plains and lime stone rangesOne man calls to the sunHearts on the runWith burnt skin, green shirt, grey hands,Red dirt, blue eyes pierce through the haze"Black snake" road leads the wayOver my landA black man bites back on a golden dawnAcross red earthWhere a white brother bastard waitingLooking for rainWhere one man stands with a gunIn his handsAnd beside him is his wifeThe sifting soil their life is justblown awayWhere dreaming starts from birthFrom the waves of war on the shoreInto the inside heart of blood red earthWhere people live to laugh, to cryAnd their dreams are sharedunder southern starlightWhere loveIs just, hlólding that woman in your armsIn the land of the sunThe "mining man" drowned in aboom toen graveAnd a small town kneels just praying to be savedThe city folk say it's tightBut somewhere someone diedAnd you tell me you don't careAnd you tell me that it ain't your worryAnd you tell me that life goes onYou tell meYou tell meRepeat chorus
Cameron Daddo Hearts On The Run
