Raining In My Heartland

[Verse 1]

Mud-covered cornfields staring out my back door

The barn's leaning over now and that deer don't run no more

So much life before, now that dream is gone

When the factory burned down I moved up to the city

The school we all went to is a memory that got bulldozed

And the good times froze when that door closed

[Chorus]

Main Street's still there but the stores are all empty

The car lot where my daddy worked is dirt and stone

The only thing that comes through here

Is stormy weather

And it's raining

It's raining in my heartland

[Verse 2]

We're packing them boxes for something better

Ran across my mom and dad's old love letters

And the photograph of this house that we're standing in now

Let's stop by the church where we got married

Walk out back where your grandma's buried

And say goodbye one last time

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Some dreams just stop growing where you plant them

You gotta count your blessings and be happy that you've had them

Let's grab a shovel baby, dig us a new life

[Chorus]
