Lyrics of 'Hearts On The Run' by Cameron Daddo

On a highway bound for nowhere
Past the burtn out dams and the river beds
The bull ants march
As the sun bleached bones get whiter
He can see the grass through the railroad tracks
Well that train went to city
And it ain't coming back
He spits from the window, it steams as it hits
the ground
Over sunburnt plains and lime stone ranges
One man calls to the sun
Hearts on the run
With burnt skin, green shirt, grey hands,
Red dirt, blue eyes pierce through the haze
"Black snake" road leads the way
Over my land
A black man bites back on a golden dawn
Across red earth
Where a white brother bastard waiting
Looking for rain
Where one man stands with a gun
In his hands
And beside him is his wife
The sifting soil their life is just
blown away
Where dreaming starts from birth
From the waves of war on the shore
Into the inside heart of blood red earth
Where people live to laugh, to cry
And their dreams are shared
under southern starlight
Where love
Is just, hl?ng that woman in your arms
In the land of the sun
The "mining man" drowned in a
boom toen grave
And a small town kneels just praying to be saved
The city folk say it's tight
But somewhere someone died
And you tell me you don't care
And you tell me that it ain't your worry
And you tell me that life goes on
You tell me
You tell me
Repeat chorus
