Eden Lyrics - The Honeycutters

24 acres of Indiana farmland, airstream trailer 

living in the heartland 

a little ways west of where the day is born 

I put 200,00 miles on this Japanese car 

mechanic says it's dying now don't take it very far 

but I love to go out driving 

watch the sun melt on the corn 

we're living in the heartland, somewhere between the mountains and the shore 

at school the kids are learning about Christopher Columbus 

the names of all his ships, how to use a compass 

and I wish that it could stop there 

I wish there was a way to keep 'um young 

'Cause when I think about him now, he must have been all shaky handed 

delusions of grandeur and lines in the sand 

and a look in his eye of a man who has been at sea too long 

trying to find his legs and afraid to admit he might be wrong

It's what I don't know that makes this living easy 

the more I learn the more it brings me to my knees and I say 

please 

let me back inside the garden 

I won't eat anything that's fallen from that goddamn tree 

24 acres of Indiana farmland, used to be 100 

but grandpa lost a card game 

we moved back here from Boston cause I lost my job and this is where I'm from 

and the kids seem pretty happy, they don't miss their dad too much 

I can't answer all their questions but they never lack for love 

that's what I tell my mother when she calls 

"now don't you worry about us" 

we're living in the heartland and we're learning how to let that be enough

We don't keep a TV cause the news is always bad 

and it teaches us to want all the things we'll never have 

and there's always someone getting hurt cause someone else was feeling 

too let down 

one of these nights I'm gonna go out to the crossroads 

see who's buying 

and I'll tell him just to go on home 

I'll look him in the eye and say "you don't scare me now" 

since the bottle took my baby and the banker took my house 

we're living in the heartland surely somewhere here is where the heart is found
