Blue Heartland
c1985 by Michael JerlingFrom the album Early Jerling
Jaybird squawks, the sparrow hawk Circles in the air Fat crow dines on the white line What he eats is his own affair Red-winged blackbird's Got a cattail chair In the blue heartland In the blue heartland Cowboy boots, hobo suit Song about a train Smoky bar, Fender guitar Whiskey on the brain Load up in the back Break down in the rain In the blue heartland In the blue heartland Cities rise before your eyes A twisted fairy tale Smokestack smoke chokes the wind In your prairie sail And down on the South Side A bluesman wails In the blue heartland In the blue heartland Summer nights the catfish likes To sleep in a catfish hole Daddy likes a country song Little sister likes rock and roll And I'd like to come back Before too long To the blue heartland To the blue heartland
