Heartland

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 achin' 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 drink
Ain't no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't speak
Don't they know that I'm dyin' why's nobody cryin' for me
My American dream fell apart at the seams
You tell me what it means you tell me what it means
[ guitar ]
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 closin' 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
My American dream...
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland
There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland

Bob n Willie - two of my all time heroes...........

"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"

I guess it means even harder times for lots of us - the bankers have their trickle down economics to rely on - I guess they trickled down far enough for them..............

Sifu,

You brought this song to mind this evening.



Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep and I`m walking the floor.
Darlin` I can see that you`re dreaming,
And I don`t wanna wake you up
When I close the door.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don`t know what that means.
There`s a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank`s
Gonna come and take it all away.

Lately, I`ve been thinking `bout daddy,
And how he always made things work, when the chips were down,
And I know I`ve got something inside me
There`s always a light there to guide me
To what can`t be found.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don`t know what that means.
There`s a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank`s
Gonna come and take it all away.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.

Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don`t know what that means.
There`s a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank`s
Gonna come and take it all away.
