The leaves on the tree are turnin´ inside out
From the Great White North there´s a big black cloud
Run for shelter if you can
There´s a storm in the heartland

We made it through the flood of ´93
But this is gonna be the death of me
I can´t hide the tears of a desperate man
There´s a storm in the heartland

She´s leavin´ me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin´ to an end
Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
There´s a storm in the heartland
There´s a storm in the heartland

The love she gave was like a breath of spring
Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
I couldn´t see the danger close at hand
There´s a storm in the heartland

She´s leavin´ me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin´ to an end
Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again
There´s a storm in the heartland
There´s a storm in the heartland

There´s a storm in the heartland
