Heartland Lyrics - Willie Nelson

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
