Ray Davies - A Place in Your Heart Lyrics

Hold tight, things are growin' cold inside ya' never known
Cut to the rawhide right to the metal bone
Strap a live across your knees to the back where your jawbone freezes
Bitter bad lightning freeze

Who needs to ride a train
When we got the natural motion
That's gonna take us right across the line
[inaudible] that you ever see
Whoa, whoa
Hey, look at that big sky
Look at that moonglow lightin' up the Rockies
On the way to Idaho
Take out your fiddle put your hand on the bow
Rustle up through the tune put a rhythm in your toe-o

Hello? is anybody there? hello?

I can't explain
And I'm letting my emotions get the better of me
Your always on my mind
But I can't tell you that I willingly follow you
If I can't have you
How can I expect to have a place in your heart?
But I wouldn't be so bold
As to expect that you have feelings for me, oh no
Can I get it to you
West to East, under the stars
'Cause then I will have to admit defeat
It's a thousand miles to the nearest bar
An' I wouldn't want to bother you
West to East, 'til we reach Valhalla
'Cause then I won't have to admit I'm alone
West to East
It's bothering me
In the land of the free

See the sign up ahead, see the moon behind
Place in your heart
You were right on time with gonna' get there come rain or shine
You're always on my mind
In Omaha city
Soon be over in time
I can't tell you that I'd really follow you
I can't admit it to you
West to East, under the stars
'Cause then I will have to admit defeat
It's a thousand miles to the nearest bar
And I wouldn't want to bother you
West to East 'til we reach Valhalla
'Cause then I won't have to admit I'm alone
West to East
It's bothering me
In the land of the free

See the sign up ahead, see the moon behind
Place in your heart
You were right on time with gonna' get there come rain or shine
And I wouldn't be so bored
In Omaha city
Soon be over in time
To expect you to have feelings for me, oh no

Make the most of nature's great highway
Rest [inaudible] night turn into day
Moved so fast to [inaudible] and you can't stay
A place in your heart

Alright lads, I gotta phone home

Hey, Ray, what's the deal?
Let's get this show on the road

Alright then

I can't explain
(Come get a train)
Am I let my emotions get the better of me
(Take a [inaudible] across a [inaudible] plain)
You're always on my mind
But I can't tell you that I really may follow you
To the end of the earth

West to East, follow that star
Thousand miles to the nearest bar
Rattlin' wind, hold on tight
Rap up [inaudible], it'll blow you apart
Pass that whiskey, stoke up the stove
Pluck that string, wiggle that bow
Midwest show, thunder and rain
Get to the East coast, turn around and head West again

Move so fast to [inaudible] and you can't stay
A place in your heart
