No peace and rest I'll find
Yonder lookin' up
On the Heartline
It sure looks good tonight
The southern sky, it dims
Callin' me back in
Looks like a friend
I'm just chasin' the wind

Blues got me down
Autumn draggin' on
My baby's not here with me
Might as well be dead and gone
Said he had to leave me
I felt like it rained
The Heartline's not a hill
I climbed a mountain that day

My baby had to leave
Now, I'm losin' sleep
Wish it was a dream
It's just reality
I'll ride until I die
Hills and hollows wide
Every place I find
Takes me back to that Heartline

Blues got me down
A spirit in the wind
Wonder if it's the devil
Or if it's just my friend
Days go by quickly
Nights drag along
The Heartline's not a hill
But I'm still singin' this song

I made up my mind
Right at closin' time
His memories, they haunt me
So I guess he'll have to die
It's not a sin, I raised
Him in the grave
He's the one who left me
Now he has to pay

Blues got me down
All the things I've tried
To keep my thoughts from chasin' me
Into the Great Divide
The day he had to leave me
I felt like it rained
The Heartline's not a hill
But he'll be buried there someday
