Strung Out in the Heartland

Damn this wretched body
it's broken down and achin' fierce
and I can't seem for the life of me
To hold back the tears and
Now they're flowin' like a river longside the remnants of my soul
I'm strung out in the heartland alone

And damn this wrestless labor
It's a blessing and a curse
I work all day and turn all night
Just to hide you from my hurt
At the end of my road I got
Nothing left to show
Oh no I'm strung out in the heartland alone

Strung out in the heartland losin' my mind
Strung out in the heartland bidin' my time

No one remembers your name
Why would they
When you're strung out in the heartland alone

And damn this long cold winter
It's finally beaten me down
Though we were once familiar
I'm just a stranger to you now
At the end of my days
Wish I could take back the ways that got me
Strung out in the heartland alone
