Trees shook with sound when the lightning hit the ground with a thud
I was standing on the hillside, losing sleep, seeking shelter and leaking blood
Tried to keep my feet moving but I was soon to find out that
Running don�t come easy in the mud
Chorus:
It was high tide in the heartland
High tide in the heartland
High tide in the heartland
Fire in the hills
Yeah, we knew the lead singer who�d entertain us with the stories he would tell
And at the party after the show, he asked me if I had some advice I�d like to sell
He said I don�t know if you notice, but it seems the life of the party
Never ages very well
Chorus
We were backstage at the show, growing restless when someone got the call
A good friend we all knew had suddenly and unexpectedly had a fall
Nothing could prepare us for the news that came down
That jus about killed us all
Chorus
