Heartland

[Verse]

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 aching 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 dying why's nobody crying 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 a heartland

And bankers are taking the homes and the land away

There's a young boy closing his eyes tonight in a 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

There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland [x4]
