HEARTLAND
Willie Nelson/Bob Dylan

                                             
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 gapping 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't drink
                                                    
And no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't talk
                                                 
Oh, they  know that 'm dying why nobody crying for me

                                     
My American dream, fell apart at the seams
                                               
You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means

INSTRUMENTAL (             )

                                           
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.
