It's 10:35 in the heartland
Make your move or you never will
The boys are out on Mayfield

Everybody dressed to kill
Some of them got raises
Some of them just got time

Some think about last season
Some think about life of crime


[Chorus]
And I say hey baby
We're gonna have time tonight

Hey darling would you like a ride?
The girls says maybe
I've got a little time to kill and baby you feel like trying

It'd be just like flying
But nobody writes the names down
Just something that gotta go through

Yeah nothing seems to work out the way they planned
And some of them think about leavin'
Not many of them ever do

Give it one more try tonight in the heartland
In the heartland


On a hundred and fifth at midnight
Brothers chose up sides
Dark is full of ladies

Long to be right
Well on the west side punks supply
And the rich boys come around

And ask them if they can leave it alone
Even though their growing prime


[Repeat Chorus]

But nobody writes the names down

Just something that gotta go through
Yeah nothing seems to work out the way they planned
And some of them think about leavin'

But not many of them ever do
Give it one more try tonight in the heartland
In the heartland

In the heartland
In the heartland
In the heartland
