Clouds like covered wagons And each one heading west In the middle of Nebraska The wind blows down the left The trees all lean the same way Like they're wearing the same old load And the dust already knows The dust already knows The dust already knows Its destined road Gone away's the day you'd say we Had a heart a gold In the middle of Nebraska Back when we felt old And now that we're all young again We don't know alone And we got a heart of sand We got a heart of sand We got a heart of sand And a soul of stone I've seen storms that lit the sky And chased the needles on the wind I've seen storms just pa** me by And I know one more will do me in I rolled in at the wheel of a Buick They rode me out in a tumbleweed In the middle of Nebraska, In 1993 I was shooting for salvation I ended up with light I knew it would never break I knew it would never break I knew it would never break Through the night Through the night
