[Verse 1]
He leaves on the trees are turning' 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is coming' to an end
Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland there's a storm in the heartland

[Verse 4]
The love she gave was like a breath of spring
Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
I couldn't see the danger close of hand
There's a storm in the heartland

[Outro]
She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
There's a storm in the heartland
