Badlands Songtext
von Kevin Morby

Welcome to the Badlands
Where the sky expands and you and I expire
Just like sparks flying off some firecracker
In the big disaster we call home
Where God could be a dog
Barking in the dark
And if it goes pitch black would you come back?
Would you follow my name
Through wild fields of lavender
In this life we′re just passengers just passing by

Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky
Heaven is a place on earth we see it by and by
And I know that it's going to hurt if I get there first
Heaven in a place on earth


Welcome to the Midwest
Where the sky knows best
And you′ll finally get some rest
'Til the tornado sirens start harmonizing

And I can't tell if I′m in heaven, if I′m in
I can't tell if I′m in heaven, if I'm in
I can′t tell if I'm in heaven, if I′m in

I can't tell if I'm in heaven or if I′m in the Badlands
Where the sky expands and you and I expire
Just like sparks flying off some firecracker
In the big disaster we call home

Heaven is a place on earth beneath the golden sky
Heaven is a place on earth we see it by and by
And I know that it′s going to hurt if I get there first
Heaven in a place on earth, on earth

Heaven in a place on earth, on earth
Heaven in a place on earth
