about

Care free sunny day in the country, away from the city, living the life, it's all good. Oh, wait...

lyrics

I was chillin' in the sunlight, day was feelin' just right
Sippin' on something nice, ultimate freedom right
Up until a p-i-g, pulled up to the side of me
Actin' stupid violently, lookin' for a gunfight
No point in harassin' me, go home to your family
You should take this chance to leave, or you won't see 'em tonight
Don't you see me passively passing up the chance to put you down like gravity and pass your ghost back to the most high?
Guess not, get shot
Turn a gravel road a permanent rest stop
'Round here cowboys never cared to wash red paws
Since the years started 1800 like Bets Off
Speakin' of, freakin' duck
It's almost high noon and it's heatin' up
When the clock strikes twelve we'll see hell erupt
MICL, calm as fuck still, you can tell he's tough
The third person in a duel, I'm cool
You're just another version of a fool
My words are like a furnace, hot, burstin' out the tool
At y'all chests, all F's, you're hurtin' for some school
You need to go, re-enroll
Dumb as fuck, you dropped out at three years old
Puzzled at the muzzle flash, it was so fast, you're freakin' slow
Duels to attend, but I won't even go, just to show
Mercy, no need to show that it would not be even close
Leavin' you bleedin', seizin', heavy breathin', with a stroke
Huntin' seasonal cold, altogether feelin' low
Action- fast draws, a body falls, and that's all folks

Rewards on my head, them some mighty fine bounties
When I need to get away, I got me 99 counties

But when the air gets cold and I lose my dark tan
It's got me feeling stuck in this broken heart land
I gotta get out, gotta do my thing
Go tell momma I'll be home next spring

'Cause I love the heart land, that's where my heart is
It's where I do my dirt and it's where I do my biz
It's where I raise my crops and it's where I'll raise my kids
I love the heart land, that's where my heart is

I was chillin' at the train tracks, down by the river
About to hop on and just ride to wherever
Plottin' my escape to hide out from the weather
Thinkin' anywhere but here is better
Just wanna hang outside and feel high like a feather
On the wing of a bird flying south for the winter
Sippin' on horchata, now just got a lot of liquor
I'm tryin' to feel warm like the sun in September
Once the train came, I was long gone
Sights set to the west, might be gone long
Seeking better weather and a nice life
I'll send plenty letters, everyday I'll write twice
No worries, surely it'll be sweet
Better than I ever imagined in my dreams
Gonna be a big star, gonna make the big bucks
I'll phone home once I've struck luck, got the law to duck

Rewards on my head, them some mighty fine bounties
When I need to get away, I got me 99 counties

On the daily grind, 'round here work's tough
So that Rock Island whistle's got my ears perked up
Thinkin' 'bout rollin' toward that golden sunset
You know my heart's in these parts even if my head's west

'Cause I love the heart land, that's where my heart is
It's where I do my dirt and it's where I do my biz
It's where I raise my crops and it's where I'll raise my kids
I love the heart land, that's where my heart is

But when the air gets cold and I lose my dark tan
It's got me feeling stuck in this broken heart land
I gotta get out, gotta do my thing
Gotta cry out, gotta shout and sing
Gotta fly south, gotta spread my wings
Go tell momma I'll be home next spring

'Cause I love the heart land, that's where my heart is
It's where I do my dirt and it's where I do my biz
It's where I raise my crops and it's where I'll raise my kids
I love the heart land, that's where my heart is
