A Place in Your Heart Songtext
von Ray Davies

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
(?) that you ever see
Whoa, oh
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

Ray speaking:
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)
(?) I 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 the (?)
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 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 the (?)
To expect you to have feelings for me

Make the most of nature′s great highway
Rest (?) night turn into day
Moved so fast to (?)
A place in your heart

Ray speaking:
Alright lads, I gotta phone home

Man speaking:

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? across a? 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 (?), 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 (?) and you can′t stay
A place in your heart
