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. (Repeated) There's a home place under fire tonight in a Heartland (Instrumental:) (Fade out)
