Heart of America - Margo Price[00:00:00]
My sweet mother gets up so early in the morning[00:00:14]
She turns on the stove and she makes a pot of coffee[00:00:19]
My daddy fills his tractor up with diesel to plant the corn[00:00:24]
And that's how it was on the day that I was born[00:00:29]
Well the days they went by and the bins filled up with grain[00:00:37]
My mother's brother died on a motorcycle in the rain[00:00:43]
The town got too big for its britches and the government it came[00:00:48]
And now it will never be the same[00:00:53]
No one moves away with no money[00:00:59]
They just do what they can[00:01:01]
To live in the heart of America[00:01:03]
Getting by on their own two hands[00:01:06]
You can pray to anybody's Jesus[00:01:09]
And be a hardworking man[00:01:11]
But at the end of the day if the rain it don't rain[00:01:14]
We just do what we can[00:01:19]
Some time back in eighty six[00:01:39]
When big banks took the throne[00:01:42]
They asked about every local farmer try to dry his own corn[00:01:44]
But the men in the suits had a bigger plan[00:01:49]
Than to let it be our own[00:01:52]
When the crops came in that spring they were blown[00:01:54]
And Neil and Willie tried so hard[00:02:00]
And battles they have gone[00:02:02]
But that was still long after the bigger war had been won[00:02:05]
No one was there to save the wheat and the cattle at my home[00:02:10]
They took every field my family owned[00:02:15]
No one moves away with no money[00:02:21]
They just do what they can[00:02:24]
To live in the heart of America[00:02:26]
Getting by on their own two hands[00:02:28]
You can pray to anybody's Jesus[00:02:31]
And be a hardworking man[00:02:34]
But at the end of the day if the rain it don't rain[00:02:36]
If the bank it don't break[00:02:41]
We just do what we can[00:02:44]
You just do what you can[00:02:50]
