Heart of America
My sweet mother gets up, so early in the morning She turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee My daddy fills his tractor up with diesel, plant the corn and that's how it was on the day that I was born Well the days they went by and the Benz filled up with grain My mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain The town it got too big for it britches and the government it came And now it will never be the same No one moves away with no money, they just do what they can To live in the heart of America getting by on their own two hands You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man But at the end of the day, if the rain don't rain You just do what you can Sometime back in '86 the big banks took the throne They asked that every local farmer try to dry his own corn But the men in the suits had a bigger plan Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com that they let it be alone When the crops came in that spring they were blown And Neil and Willie tried so hard into battles they have gone But that was still long, after the much bigger will happen one No one was there to save the wheat and the cattle and my home They took every field my family owned No one moves away with no money, they just do what they can To live in the heart of America getting by on their own two hands You can pray to anybody's Jesus and be a hardworking man But at the end of the day, if the rain it don't rain If the bank it don't bank You just do what you can You just do what you can
