(Per Gessle)

I take you down to a place you've 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 Caf

you're making friends that'll dream along

Heartland Caf

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 Caf

you're making friends that'll play along

Heartland Caf

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 runnning 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 Caf

you're making friends that'll run along

Heartland Caf

you're gonna have a good time

And for a nickle or a dime

she's singing that old song

'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more
