And bankers are taking the homes
Tonight in the heartland
My American dream
There's a home place under fire
My American dream
Nobody can drink
Now, where my heart was
Tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire
There's a well where the water's so bitter
And my land from me
Tonight in the heartland
You tell me what it means
Is so dry that I can't speak
You tell me what it means
Why's nobody cryin' for me?
Who will wake up a man with some land
You tell me what it means
There's a home place under fire
Fell apart at the seams
You tell me what it means
Fell apart at the seams
His American dream
There's a home place under fire
And a hole in the sky
And the bankers are taking my home
There's a big achin' hole in my chest
Tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire
Ain't no way to get high and my mouth
Tonight in the heartland
Don't they know that I'm dyin'
And the land away
There's a young boy closin' his eyes
You tell me what it means
There's a home place under fire
Fell apart at the seams
And a loan he can't pay
You tell me what it means
Where God used to be
Tonight in the heartland
