I take you down
to a place you never been
a heart in the city
you have never seen
your wine will last all night
behind those neon lights,
just take me by the hand,
here we go...

Down at the Heartland Café
you're making friends that'll dream along
Heartland Café,
the lights are always bright
and right before your eyes
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more

Yes, come in from the night
and say goodbye to the pouring rain
win a few games,
have a few laughs
and forget why you came
let time just slip away
and I'll swear that someday you'll trade
your tomorrows for one single yesterday

Down at the Heartland Café
you're making friends that'll play along
Heartland Café,
you can feel at ease
and gentle as a breeze
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more

Winners and losers,
we're all in the same show
running and running again
any way the wind will blow
if you like we can talk all night
until the morning light
or turn the card and ask for a song

Down at the Heartland Café
you're making friends that'll run along
Heartland Café,
you're gonna have a good time
and for a nickel or a dime
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart
that's not alone no more
