Raining In My Heartland

[Verse 1] Mud-covered cornfields staring out my back door The barn's leaning over now and that deer don't run no more So much life before, now that dream is gone When the factory burned down I moved up to the city The school we all went to is a memory that got bulldozed And the good times froze when that door closed [Chorus] Main Street's still there but the stores are all empty The car lot where my daddy worked is dirt and stone The only thing that comes through here Is stormy weather And it's raining It's raining in my heartland [Verse 2] We're packing them boxes for something better Ran across my mom and dad's old love letters And the photograph of this house that we're standing in now Let's stop by the church where we got married Walk out back where your grandma's buried And say goodbye one last time [Chorus] [Verse 3] Some dreams just stop growing where you plant them You gotta count your blessings and be happy that you've had them Let's grab a shovel baby, dig us a new life [Chorus]
