Heartland

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

And the bankers are taking my home

And my land from me

There's a big achin' hole in my chest

Now, where my heart was

And a hole in the sky

Where God used to be

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

There's a well where the water's so bitter

Nobody can drink

Ain't no way to get high and my mouth

Is so dry that I can't speak

Don't they know that I'm dyin'

Why's nobody cryin' for me?

My American dream

Fell apart at the seams

You tell me what it means

You tell me what it means

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

And bankers are taking the homes

And the land away

There's a young boy closin' his eyes

Tonight in the heartland

Who will wake up a man with some land

And a loan he can't pay

His American dream

Fell apart at the seams

You tell me what it means

You tell me what it means

My American dream

Fell apart at the seams

You tell me what it means

You tell me what it means

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland

There's a home place under fire

Tonight in the heartland
