Alison Krauss & Union Station - Heartstrings Lyrics
(marshall wilborn/flying pig music, bmi & happy valley music, bmi)Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shineIf it weren't for my true love, i'd long ago lost my mindI'd long ago lost my mindThere's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere i goBut the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton growsWhere the snow white cotton growsWhen the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher groundWhen the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paintWe'll be homeward boundMe and my love will be homeward boundHeartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak treeHoldin' through tornado windsTougher than timber, stronger than steelThey'll guide me back southward againThey'll guide me back southward againWhen the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher groundAnd when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paintWe'll be homeward boundMe and my love will be homeward bound
