patrick sharrow – the heartland lyrics
[verse 1 ]
see that city limits sign
perched outside the five and dime
in the distance on the dark end of the street
i grew up around the block
where the city sidewalk stops
off the main drag in a farmhouse by the creek
[pre+chorus]
but there ain’t much for work in this town
they’re closing the factories down
and leaving us behind
but i don’t know why anyone’s surprised
[chorus]
here in the heartland
there’s no relief for the working man
in the heartland
there’s no such thing as a backup plan
it’s all or nothing, there’s always something
they’ll knock you down till you take it on the chin
here in the heartland
here in the heartland
[verse 2]
there’s a bar just up the street
where the congregation meets
every friday for a few drinks after work
people come from miles around
to hear that band play way too loud
and see the old man steal the mic stand for a verse
[pre+chorus]
they still think we’re stuck in the past
and there’s no way we’ll ever come back
but somehow we survive
and i don’t know why anyone’s surprised
[chorus]
here in the heartland
there’s no relief for the working man
in the heartland
there’s no such thing as a backup plan
it’s all or nothing, there’s always something
they’ll knock you down till you take it on the chin
here in the heartland
[guitar solo]
[breakdown\chorus]
here in the heartland
there’s no relief for the working man
in the heartland
there’s still some faith left in uncle sam
but it’s all or nothing, there’s always something
they’ll knock you down till you take it on the chin
here in the heartland
here in the heartland
